The increasing number of 'missing girls' in much of South and East Asia provides the disturbing focus this key title. It is unique in it's positive attention to daughter discrimination in these regions, as opposed to the large body of existing literature which analyses preference for sons. The complete story of these 'missing' daughters is assembled here for the first time from a range of material, most of it published elsewhere, assigning the book both originality and lasting value. Endangered Daughters draws from two main channels of research: a) demographic data looking at * sex ratio's at birth * excessive female infant and child mortality * other forms of girlhood disadvantage b) anthropological field studies articulating * gendered values attached to children * ideal family size * ideal family composition * gender roles within families Case studies include: * China * Republic of Korea * Taiwan * Vietnam * India * Pakistan * Bangladesh.
