This book examines the dynamics of power within the families of
married women who have migrated from rural areas to China's Dalian
Economic Zone. Engaging the question of whether waged work gives
women power in their families, this ethnographic study finds that
women do indeed use their new positions and urban status to
negotiate their family status. However, women use these new
resources not necessarily to promote their own individual
liberation, but rather to strengthen their contribution as wives
and, especially, as mothers. Thus, this new modernity provides a
space for the re-inscribing of traditional roles, even as it may
work to give women new-found power within their families. How and
why this process occurs is related to the dual inequalities these
women face as rural migrants and as women.
