Be strong, females!

Released into the X Authors book Ring. Please enjoy!

Received this book as part of the X Book Ring and decided to add it to my TBR pile since it looks interesting.

Here is a summary of this book from Goodreads:
When Deng Xiaoping’s efforts to “open up” China took root in the late 1980s, Xinran recognized an invaluable opportunity. As an employee for the state radio system, she had long wanted to help improve the lives of Chinese women. But when she was given clearance to host a radio call-in show, she barely anticipated the enthusiasm it would quickly generate. Operating within the constraints imposed by government censors, “Words on the Night Breeze” sparked a tremendous outpouring, and the hours of tape on her answering machines were soon filled every night. Whether angry or muted, posing questions or simply relating experiences, these anonymous women bore witness to decades of civil strife, and of halting attempts at self-understanding in a painfully restrictive society. In this collection, by turns heartrending and inspiring, Xinran brings us the stories that affected her most, and offers a graphically detailed, altogether unprecedented work of oral history.

I thought this book was totally amazing and the stories of the various women deserve to be told. I am sending this book to the winner of the books from "unusual countries" sweepstakes and hope she enjoys it, too.
