Another 50 cent bargain from The Book Corner used book store (all proceeds go to the Beaverton Library).

This book was first published in 1982 (this copy is from 1990). From the Preface:

"... In this volume we introduce seven representative women writers, whose stories and reportage present a good cross section of life in China. Although the writers selected vary considerably in age, experience, and background, all show a strong sense of social responsibility. In China, literature is not viewed as a form of entertainment or simply as a source of aesthetic enjoyment, but as an effective means of education, of inspiring readers with high ideals and the belief that can be attained."

There's a hallway next to the Murray Scholls branch of the Beaverton library that leads out to the back parking lot (not the front entrance). I left the book on one of the newspaper/magazine racks in that hallway.
