«Nacer mujer en China» is the testimony book by journalist Xinran Xue, published by Emecé Editores in hardback (303 pages, in Spanish).
After listening to women's calls to the radio programme «Palabras en la brisa nocturna», Xinran Xue brings together here the stories those silenced voices dared to tell. The testimonies span women's life in China: tradition, silence, suffering and hope.
The work comes from the English original «The Good Women of China» and was nominated for the Kiriyama Prize in 2002.
Recommended for readers interested in the social history of China, gender studies and testimonial narratives.
