Women, Kinship and Social Transformations

When I grew up in the 1970s, my successful working mother strategically arranged to live next to her own mother. My mom went out to work in the day time and I was cared by my grandmother. My grandmothers’ love to me more than any other love I’ve experienced in all my life and yet she often told me since I was young, ‘you are my daughters’ daughter, and thus not belong to my family…’.

My Ph.D. research was set out to explore women’s changing identities and the workings of patriliny in urban families in 20th century Taiwan.
