This book takes a feminist approach to analyse the lives of
well-educated urban Chinese women, who were raised to embody the
ideals of a modern Chinese nation and are largely the beneficiaries
of the policy changes of the post-Mao era. It explores young
women's gendered attitudes to and experiences of marriage,
reproductive choices, careers and aspirations for a good life. It
sheds light on what keeps mainstream Chinese middle-class women
conforming to the current gender regime. It illuminates the
contradictory effects of neoliberal techniques deployed by a
familial authoritarian regime on these women's striving for success
in urban China, and argues that, paradoxically, women's
individualistic determination to succeed has often led them onto
the path of conformity by pursuing exemplary norms which fit into
the party-state's agenda.
