Description:	In this book, my purpose is to examine the lives of these migrant women, particularly married women, who work in factories and other jobs in the Dalian Economic Zone (DEZ). But before I began to hear the stories of women, I had a different set of research questions; those evolved once I began fi eldwork and listened to women talking about their lives. I started this project focused on a question about power in families. I asked: how do these new jobs affect women’s power in their families? I was particularly interested in various issues of power in this context of a new economic zone: women’s interpretation of power in their own lives, the sources of power they claim, the hindrances and obstacles they face to achieving power, and the ways they assert their power.
