What enables women to hold firm in their beliefs in the face of
long years of hostile persecution by the Communist party/state? How
do women withstand daily discrimination and prolonged hardship
under a Communist regime which held rejection of religious beliefs
and practices as a patriotic duty? Through the use of archival and
ethnographic sources and of rich life testimonies, this book
provides a rare glimpse into how women came to find solace and
happiness in the flourishing, female-dominated traditions of local
Islamic women's mosques, Daoist nunneries and Catholic convents in
China. These women passionately - often against unimaginable odds -
defended sites of prayer, education and congregation as their
spiritual home and their promise of heaven, but also as their
rightful claim to equal entitlements with men.
