About Chinese Women

London England: Marion Boyars. Hardback. About Chinese Women. Previous owners name to inside cover. Couple of tears to edge of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. Translated from the French by Anita Barrows. By combining a study of Chinese history, literature, psychology, religion and politics - then adding her own sensitive and sensible impressions of the women of China - the author provides a startling view of a country in which - largely unnoticed by the West - the role of women has been transformed with incredible rapidity. The author not only describes the position of women and the family in ancient and modern China, but introduces her subject with an analysis of the universal and archetypal differences between the male and the female. She ultimately related the position of Chinese women to that of their western sisters. The book encompasses the historical, the anthropological and the philisophical aspects of this painfully faishonable subject that needs the intelligence here so compentently supplied.
