Women, Religion, and Space in China: Islamic Mosques & Daoist Temples, Catholic Convents & Chinese Virgins - Routledge International Studies of Women and Place 1st edition
Jaschok, Maria (University of Oxford, UK)
Through the use of archival and ethnographic sources and rich life testimonies, this book provides a rare glimpse into how women found space to hold firm in their religious beliefs and withstand daily discrimination and prolonged hardship under a Communist regime in China that held rejection of religious beliefs and practices as a patriotic duty.
