Listen to the recorded interview with Leslie Chang on NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95691866

Questions:

1. Do you agree with some historians who speculate that the migration of young women into cities may eventually eliminate rural discrimination against girls and women? Give examples from your reading (and perhaps other readings in the class) to support your answer.
2. Min gets a high-paying job that allows her to take illegal kickbacks, and she does. What do you think about this in the context of the world of migrant workers the book presents?
3. From her interview, how would you describe author Leslie Chang’s attitudes about the lives and the life choices of the young women in Dongguan she presents in her book?
