Editorial Reviews

This is overall an insightful collection of essays.

— Canadian Literature, Spring 2006

This book is an important contribution to gender and change in Hong Kong, which is, in the words of the editor, “theoretically informed and grounded in concrete historical situations (p. vii). This multi-perspective, well-researched, and clearly written volume will be an important reference for researchers and students of political science, history, and sociology interested in gender issues in Hong Kong.
