Chinese Women and the Global Village

This first major study of Chinese women in Australia is all about global journeys and perspectives. It is also a story of various sites that connect Australia to the pathways of women of Chinese ancestry. Chinese women and the Global Village is a rich source of information, ideas and controversies. It is at once compelling, challenging and confronting. Jan Ryan interrogates issues of ethnicity, gender and identity to present the diversity and complexity of the personal and working lives of women of Chinese heritage.
