By scrutinizing China’s one-child policy and its repercussions, this book explores how the evolution of cultural and structural norms has shaped and continues to influence women’s lives and choices in contemporary China.

This book invites readers on an exploratory journey through the intricate tapestry of China’s history, culture, political climate, and social dynamics. At the heart of this exploration is the one-child policy, a revolutionary measure with far-reaching implications for the country’s gender dynamics. By scrutinizing this policy and its repercussions, the book aims to uncover and interlink various elements of how the evolution, or in some instances, the stagnation of China’s cultural and structural norms, has shaped and continues to influence women’s lives and choices in contemporary China.

Ting Wang is assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
