Women in Hong Kong
by Veronica Pearson
This is the first single volume to explore the reasons and results of continuing sexual inequality in the context of Hong Kong's socio-economic, political, and cultural systems. The authors weigh the residual influences of Chinese patriarchy, Confucian sexism. and British colonialism in the 1990s. They explore women's legal status, family roles, political participation, and status in the workplace, as well as education and health issues, female crime and punishment, and prostitution.
This book affirms that the experience of Hong Kong Chinese women is unique and deserves to be studied separately for its lessons and hopeful indicators at this important crossroad.
