In 'Being a Woman in China', Xinran offers a moving testimony of the lives of Chinese women, who for decades were silenced under the communist regime. Through a radio program, Xinran provided them with a platform to share their personal experiences, revealing the suffering caused by traditions and political revolutions. This book is a compendium of stories of arranged marriages, sexual abuse, the loss of children, and extreme poverty, but also of love and resilience in the face of adversity.
