Fifty years ago the Chinese Communist revolution promised women an equal share of life's blessings. Will they live to see it? Today's Chinese woman has little more control over her own life than did her ancestors. Her concerns regarding education, employment and political representation are neglected while her burden increases. Probably most enlightening are the remarks of individual women, from poor cave-dwellers to educated urban professionals, regarding their roles in a society ruled by men, not by law.
