5.0 out of 5 stars Being a daughter, 20 Nov 2007
I have a very old copy of this book, published in 1939 by Penguin. (First published 1933.) I have no idea how representative it is of the lives of Chinese people in the 30s (the author obviously came from a very privileged background) but it is a very vivid and personal account of one woman's experience of living through the "interesting times" that China endured in the 20s and 30s. It must be a very unusual book - we seem to have a lot of reminiscences about life in China, told by mothers and grandmothers to women living in the late 20th and early 21st centuries; this is a first hand account. Although not specifically feminist, it is interesting from a feminist perspective, being very much told from a daughter's and a woman's viewpoint, and that woman one who embraced the "modern" and western world which would allow her to have an education and a career.
