Description of  Private Revolutions: Four Women Face China's New Social Order [Audiobook]

B0CMJNBS8D M4B@64 kbps A sweeping yet intimate portrait of modern China told through the lives of four ordinary women striving for a better future in a highly unequal society. While serving as the deputy Beijing bureau chief of the Financial Times, Chinese-British journalist Yuan Yang began to notice common threads in the lives of her Chinese peerswomen born during China's turn toward capitalism in the 1980s and 1990s, who, despite the country's enormous economic gains during their lifetimes, were coming up against deeply entrenched barriers as they sought to achieve financial stability. The product of seven years of intimate, in-depth reporting, this transporting and indelible book traces the journey of four such women as they try to make better lives for themselves and their families in the new Chinese economy.
