Over the past century and a half, China has experienced foreign
invasion, warfare, political turmoil, and revolution, along with
massive economic and technological change. Through all this change,
there is one stable element: grandmothers, as child carers,
household managers, religious devotees, transmitters of culture,
and, above all, sources of love, warmth, and affection. In this
interdisciplinary and longitudinal study, China's Grandmothers
sheds light on the status and lives of grandmothers in China over
the years from the late Qing Dynasty to the twenty-first century.
Combining a wide range of historical and biographical materials,
Diana Lary explores the changes and continuities in the lives of
grandmothers through revolution, wars, and radical upheaval to the
present phase of economic growth. Informed by her own experience as
a grandchild and grandmother, Lary offers a fresh and compelling
way of looking at gender, family, and ageing in modern Chinese
society.
