A Daughter of Han: The Autobiography of a Chinese Working Woman is a memoir written by Ida Pruitt that tells the story of a Chinese woman named Ning Lao T'ai-t'ai. The book is set in the early 20th century in China and chronicles the life of Ning Lao T'ai-t'ai, who was born into a poor family and was forced to work from a young age. Despite facing numerous challenges, including discrimination and poverty, Ning Lao T'ai-t'ai perseveres and manages to improve her life through hard work and determination. She eventually marries and has children, but her life is still marked by struggle and hardship. The book provides a vivid portrayal of life in China during this time period, including the social and economic conditions that affected women like Ning Lao T'ai-t'ai. It also explores themes such as family, gender roles, and the impact of political and cultural change on ordinary people. Overall, A Daughter of Han is a powerful and insightful memoir that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of working-class women in early 20th century China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
