Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Anyone interested globally in autobiography would do themselves an immense service by reading these texts. For the Western reader, whether a specialist or non-specialist of autobiography, reading these remarkable stories will be like stumbling upon an undiscovered country. These stories serve as a valuable and enormously entertaining lesson in cultural and political history. The opening pages of Bai Wei's 'Jumping Through Hoops', are as powerful as anything I have read in autobiography Dr. Patrick Riley, Colgate University This collection represents an invaluable source as to how women thought and lived their lives during the Resistance War period. Their voice not only needs to be heard by the Chinese people but also by Western audiences who are interested in both Chinese culture and women's lives during that period. Dr. Yanfang Tang, College of William and Mary Scholars and students of modern Chinese women writers will find this book an essential reference for the biographical information contained therein and the inner world of women writers it reveals. Dr. Lily Lee, University of Sydney
