China's joining the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001
signifies a milestone in the country's global integration after two
decades of economic reforms that have fundamentally transformed the
economic organization of China. This collection seeks to identify
the gendered implications within China of the country's transition
from socialism to a market economy and its opening up to
international trade and investment. The changes have created
greater wealth for some, while at the same time, serious gender,
class, ethnic, and regional disparities have also emerged. Drawing
from historical, analytical, and policy-oriented work, the essays
in this collection explore women's well-being relative to men's in
rural and urban China by looking at land rights, labor-market
status and labor rights, household decision-making, health, the
representation of women in advertising and beauty pageants. This
book was previously published as a special issue of the journal,
Feminist Economics, the official journal of the International
Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE). All contributions have
been subjected to the journal's rigorous peer review process and
comply with the journal's editorial policies, as overseen by the
editor, Diana Strassmann, and the journal's editorial team,
including the associate editors, the editorial board, numerous
volunteer reviewers, and the journal's in-house editorial staff and
freelance style editors. The special issue and book have been made
possible by the generous financial support of Rice University and
the Ford Foundation-Beijing.
