Drawing on participant observations, in-depth interviews, and
content analysis of online materials, Lai investigates the role of
individual choice, relationships, and institutions in unmarried
Chinese women's decisions to terminate their pregnancies. Where
many previous studies have focused on abortion in China as a
state-mandated procedure to enforce the one-child policy, Lai looks
at a new era, where abortion is primarily based on individuals'
decisions. While young women in China enjoy greater freedom to
pursue their personal, sexual, and reproductive aspirations, their
autonomy remains constrained by structural inequalities of gender,
class, and migration status, which are reproduced through the
intersection of state policies, market forces, and patriarchal
family culture. In this book, Lai recounts the stories and presents
the voices of unmarried young adult women, and documents the impact
of sweeping socioeconomic transformation on their reproductive
experiences in contemporary China amidst the ending of the
one-child policy. Essential reading for scholars of Chinese society
and of family and gender studies globally.
