Private Revolutions: Four Women Face China’s New Social Order
by Yuan Yang

"A portrait both sweeping and intimate — as much a study of a radically
changing society as of four very different people.” —The New York Times

While serving as the deputy Beijing bureau chief of the Financial Times , Chinese-
British journalist Yuan Yang began to notice common threads in the lives of her
Chinese peers—women born during China’s turn toward capitalism in the 1980s and
1990s, who, despite the country's enormous economic gains during their lifetimes,
were coming up against deeply entrenched barriers as they sought to achieve
financial stability.
The product of seven years of intimate, in-depth reporting, this transporting and
indelible book traces the journey of four such women as they try to make better lives
for themselves and their families in the new Chinese economy.(Penguin Random
