UQP Australian Studies: Chinese Women And The Global Village

This, the first major study of Chinese women in Australia, is all about global journeys and perspectives. It is also a story of various stories that connect Australia to the pathways of women of Chinese ancestry.

Focusing on the post 1970s, this is a narrative that does not begin or end with Australia. The book is a rich source of information, ideas and controversies, building on a wide range of sources. Jan Ryan interrogates issues of ethnicity, gender and identity to present the diversity and complexity of the personal and working lives of women of Chinese heritage.
