With the central focus of women’s issues, the ultimate concerns for this book is for facilitating Western readers to better understand the changing ideologies and the overall social domain of China under the leadership of President Xi. The empirical data displayed in this book include interviews, group discussions and additionally, illustrations, tables and other forms of images collected during a prolonged period of fieldwork.
