Summary: Soul-Changing
Comment: First off - please ignore other reviews that say this book is a novel! All of the stories in this book REALLY HAPPENED.
EVERY woman must read this book. Some of the chapters are very painful. Your emotions will be tested. It is so hard to imagine that some of the occurences actually happen in the world (like Soul Mountain, whose women are forced to use leaves for their periods and are used by many men, causing them serious scarring and forever damaging their wombs). The book is so uplifting as a whole - the strength these women show is incredible. It will make you proud to be a woman.
This book will forever change you, lifting a veil of a world we don't often get to see. If I could give this book more than five stars, I would.

Summary: What a wonderful, heartbreaking, fascinating book!
Comment: Once I picked up the book and began reading, I couldn't put it down. The stories of these women who are so different, and yet so much like us, made me weep, laugh, and be astonished at their lives and history. Xinran Xue is a gifted writer who captures the poignancy of these womens' lives, whom she came to know through her radio program in China. In a time when most reporters would have left well-enough alone, she goes out into her world to interview women from all walks of life, and expresses their stories of incest, brutality, achievement, and daily survival with a simplicity that is dynamic and powerful. This book is a MUST-HAVE for anyone's library.

Summary: Not one you'll forget
Comment: Xinran's telling of the stories of Chinese women make their lives very real, even for this far away country and culture that is far removed from our lives in the West. It is a haunting yet moving account that you will not soon forget.
