Stanford.: Stanford University Press.. 1998.. 387pp, index, notes, bibliography, paperback. "This book is based on extensive personal interviewing of urban women and study of contemporary literature and articles in the periodical press that touched on the problems of rural women. Each chapter is devoted to one aspect of women's lives: girlhood, adornment and sexuality, courtship, marriage, family relations, divorce, work, violence against women, and gender inequality. Giving a personal dimension to the issues discussed, the chapters close with a rich sampling of excerpts from the newly thriving women's press and other contemporary publications."
