Set against the backdrop of debates regarding the consequences of late modern social change for family and intimate life, the authors consider the challenges of exploring these issues across differing cultures. The book focuses on a range of topics including: mother-daughter relationships; romantic, sexual and marital relationship trajectories; and the imagined futures of daughters. Throughout, it is argued that differences between Hong Kong and Britain are not attributable merely to local culture and tradition, but are the consequence of wider social, economic and political conditions through which cultural continuity and change are mediated. Women Doing Intimacy will be of interest to students and scholars of family life and gender studies.Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life,2731-6459SociologySocial groupsSexCultureStudy and teachingSociology of Family, Youth and AgingGender StudiesCultural StudiesSociology.Social groups.Sex.CultureStudy and teaching.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.Gender Studies.Cultural Studies.305.420941Jackson Steviauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut527129Ho Petula Sik Yingauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910407712703321Women Doing Intimacy1999237UNINA
