I finally read The Good Women of China. It's not very well written and it's also badly translated (it's an overly literal translation). But the title is a cute twist on Brecht's The Good Woman of Setzuan, cute since he was a Communist and the book is in large part a criticism of how Chinese Communism hurt women (the other part is how nasty men hurt women). I'd always thought that the Chinese Communist Party had been good to women, but this book is forcing me to reconsider. Anyway, it's a worthwhile, quick easy read, even if it's not so very well done.
