| Summary |
"This is the first book decribes and analyzes the new phase of women's organizing in China, which started in the 1980s, and remains a vital force to the present day ... this volume enriches our understanding of the working of grassroots democracy in China by exploring women's popular organizing activities and their interaction with party-state institutions. By subjecting these activities to both empirical enquiry and theoretical scrutiny, negotiation and transformation among and within three groups of political actors - popular women's groups, religious groups and the AII China Women's Federation - is concisely presented to the reader." -- BACK COVER |
