Neuware - Out to Work is a fresh, engaging account of the lives of a group of migrant women who, while in their teens, moved from rural towns to Beijing to take up work as maids, office cleaners, hotel chambermaids, and migrant schoolteachers. Part of the vanguard of China’s great rural-urban migration in the 1990s, these women were deprived of an education because their parents were unable to pay school fees for both sons and daughters. They also faced strong objections from parents, who feared for their daughters’ safety and reputations.This multifaceted exploration of migrant women’s lives demonstrates how the intersection of gendered norms and rural-urban inequalities shaped the women’s identities and desires and makes clear the palpable material consequences the decision to migrate made in their lives.
