GIRL POWER AND CHANGES IN PRIVATE LIFE

Examining the major changes in the private lives of Xiajia villagers shows that there are many areas in which young women have played a major role in changing pre-existing patterns of family life, such as establishing wife-centered family networks after marriage, altering the previous standard of kinship distance, and creating new rituals that celebrate women’s reproductive power or the importance of their natal families (Yan 1996:53–54 and 2001:234–36). Mate-choice, marriage transaction, and family division, however, are particularly noteworthy, because young women challenged patriarchal power in these areas, and their efforts have had profound inf uence on current patterns of family life.
