Concluding Discussion: Living with Contradictions."Xie's book is a must read for anyone who still imagines that improved education and wealth lead inexorably to liberal values of gender equality. It adds our understanding of how engagement with global capitalism can both promote the fulfilment of individual middle-class aspirations while reinforcing conservative family and gender values. " - Harriet Evans, Professor Emerita, Chinese Cultural Studies, University of Westminster, UK "Xie's incisive scholarly analysis of the pressures faced by her generation is necessary reading for anyone interested in the far-reaching consequences of the one-child policy, one of the most radical social experiments in modern history." - Mei Fong, the Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist and author of One Child: The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment This book takes a feminist approach to analyse the lives of well-educatedurban Chinese women, who were raised to embody the ideals of a modern Chinese nation and are largely the beneficiaries of the policy changes of the post-Mao era. It explores young women's gendered attitudes to and experiences of marriage, reproductive choices, careers and aspirations for a good life. It sheds light on what keeps mainstream Chinese middle-class women conforming to the current gender regime. It illuminates the contradictory effects of neoliberal techniques deployed by a familial authoritarian regime on these women's striving for success in urban China, and argues that, paradoxically, women's individualistic determination to succeed has often led them onto the path of conformity by pursuing exemplary norms which fit into the party-state's agenda.
