This book examines a three-way interaction among market, state, and
family in China's recent market reform. It depicts transformations
in urban women's experiences with both paid and non-paid domestic
work. The book challenges China's free-market approach and
demonstrates its negative impacts on women's work and family
experiences by revealing labor commodification processes and
work-to-family conflicts as the state abandons its commitment to
public welfare. Using interview data collected from 165 women of
three different cohorts in urban China during the 2000-2008 period,
this study uncovers the revival of traditional gendered family
roles among urban women and men as one of their strategies to
resist market brutality and their struggles to balance work and
family demands. The book also explores urban women's non-market
definitions of marital equality, and highlights theoretical and
policy implications concerning market efficiency, marital equality,
and the state's role in protecting public good.
