A striking feature of Chinese political economy since the early 1980s has been a seemingly steady march of economic liberalization and development. This march has been accompanied, however, by rural protests and a decline in the position of women. This in turn has reopened debates about the meaning and processes of market formation where the visible hand of the state and other patriarchal agencies still plays a major role. Are there any early indicators of the implications of “market success” for social processes and welfare in the countryside and for gender equity in the restructuring of rural economic relationships? Several research studies and official United Nations reports confirm that during the past decade women have lost some entitlement; their labor input is no longer counted separately, and violence against women has increased
