The Good Women Of China - Xinran

The good women of China, follows the lives of several women and how they really live in Modern China.  Xinran, a journalist, presented a radio show inviting women to share their stories annonomously.  Revealling a shocking truth of obedience, political turmoil, and stories which shock you to the core.

Why read - After reading about Korea, I have become interested in learning about peoples lives in different countrys.  This book was recommened because they knew of my interests.

A poinent and very sad book, but also very interesting.  Xinarn presents each story as a case study of different women she has encounted, threaded with her own life expereinces, how she met these women and similar smaller stories she relates to along the way.

It is such a sad book, in the stories are really heartbreaking what these women have put up with, and it is so secreative to the outside world.  It brings such a interersting insight into a world that is rarely reported.  Xinran style of writing is captivating, and she really can bring these stories to life.  A fantastic, if not sad read.
