Acknowledgments
This is a personal journey based on collective support. My intellectual debts go to my teachers at UCLA: Drs. Lucie Cheng, Ruth Milkman, Francesca Bray, and Karen B. Sacks. As the manuscript was reviewed, I received critical and generous feedback from a number of reviewers. Even though I have not incorporated all their responses, their comments and questions helped me to clarify my thinking and strengthen my arguments. Joan Campbell's editorial assistance and insights have improved the presentation of this book tremendously.
I thank my parents who value education more than anything else. Defying a precarious financial situation, and at great personal sacrifice, they put five of us through higher education. I am indebted to my father who treasures his daughters as much as his sons, and to my mother who believes there is no way that her daughters are inferior to anyone's sons. This is a work in memory of my mother-in-law, Hui-Ying J. Ho. My relationship with her helped me to understand better how Chinese women deal with the suffering, pain, and powerlessness inflicted on them by their society.
This research would have been impossible if I had not received help from all the owners and workers I met in the factories. I appreciated the chance to work with them. As to the married women, I thank them for sharing their lives with me. I learned a great deal from the way they handle hardships and manage to enjoy life.
Support and friendship from Raymond Sirgist, Michael Hui, and most recently Cynthia McLean have been extremely valuable to my own thinking and practices of Taoism and Wuwei amid some most trying times. They are the treasure of my life. Special thanks go to my husband, Yu-Nan Ho, whose relaxed style and sense of humor have made it possible for his partner to complete a dream of her own.
