Spanning the first three decades of this century to the Sino-Japanese War, these twenty-two works of fiction, drama, autobiography, essays, and poetry, each newly translated and prefaced by the author's photograph and a short biographical sketch, introduce women whose literary careers coincided with an era of tremendous social, political, and cultural turbulence.

This anthology of early-20th-Century writing by Chinese women is a fascinating window into the lives of Chinese women from various walks of life. I enjoyed some writers more than others. Women with more modern ideas about their life choices were often up against very strong resistance posed by tradition, family expectations, and social norms. Looking forward to Vol. 2, which covers 1936-1976. #readingaroundtheworld #China

Despite our #bookmailhorror beginning, I am looking forward to reading this volume as part of the #ReadingAroundTheWorld challenge. Thankfully, it was wrapped in plastic so none of the package's larvae or ants got on the book!
