Imagining Women: Fujian Folk Tales
translated by Karen Gernant

From the International Folk Tales series.

The 37 stories which comprise this collection challenge the long-held stereotypes and provide a rare look at the everyday lives of common people in villages across Fujian province. Despite the efforts and influence of the male-dominant Confucian culture, the stories reflect women's voices and women's lives touched by power and independence.

"The stories are all entertaining... rich in cultural significance... a welcome addition to anyone's library who has enjoyed Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan... Karen Gernant's translation doesn't miss a step in opening up this culture to an American audience... [Includes] an insightful introduction and a historical overview. "
