What can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group–rural women–at the center of the inquiry? In this book, Gail Hershatter explores changes in the lives of seventy-two elderly women in rural Shaanxi province during the revolutionary decades of the 1950s and 1960s. Interweaving these women’s life histories with insightful analysis, Hershatter shows how Party-state policy became local and personal, and how it affected women’s agricultural work, domestic routines, activism, marriage, childbirth, and parenting–even their notions of virtue and respectability. The women narrate their pasts from the vantage point of the present and highlight their enduring virtues, important achievements, and most deeply harbored grievances. In showing what memories can tell us about gender as an axis of power, difference, and collectivity in 1950s rural China and the present, Hershatter powerfully examines the nature of socialism and how gender figured in its creation.

外婆奶奶那一代陕西农村女性的口述史，配以西方视角的解读。在战火年代的童年、在解放前后的婚姻、家庭和生育，在集体时代顶半边天式的劳动、政治参与和领导。幸运的女孩在娘家长大、适婚年龄遇上婚姻法发布勇敢退亲、自己选择了丈夫、生孩子遇上新时代培养的接生员没遭多大罪孩子幸运存活、集体时代扫了盲能干能挣工分、甚至参与领导工作、男人不惹祸、婆婆不刁蛮。不幸的女孩，父兄被拉壮丁，从小跟着母亲流离失所，不到十岁被送…
口述史。乡村妇女被拉进建设现代中国的进程中，同时还要负担生育和家务。使用假名对访谈对象的做法不很理解。
又有看恐怖片的感觉了。
