"One of the major strengths of the chapters dealing with the Socialist period lies in the authors' use of participant observation and extensive interviewing." (WOMEN: A CULTURAL REVIEW, December 2009) "The editors have selected contributions from a wide range of positions and disciplines to create a stimulating ‘cacophony' of voices, analyses and interpretations." (Women and Gender in Chinese Studies Review, 2008)
