AbstractReviews Susan Mann's Local Merchants and the Chinese Bureaucracy, 1750-1950 (1987), Emily Honig's Sisters and Strangers: Women in the Shanghai Cotton Mills, 1919-1949 (1986), and Gail Hershatter's the Workers of Tianjin, 1900-1949 (1986), which describe and evaluate aspects of Chinese daily life and socioeconomic conditions during different historical periods. Mann's study notes the role of the bureaucracy in China's economic structure. Honig, in her volume, explores the economic and social status of women cotton mill workers, noting the nature of working conditions and the impact of sex discrimination during the first half of the 20th century. Hershatter also looks at textile workers during this period, but provides a broad portrait of Tianjin workers in the context of urban politics and society.
