This study explores whether and how educational reforms designed to equalize social classes affect women's educational patterns, and the impact of change in education on women's subsequent career and family lives in the People's Republic of China. The author took life histories from a sample of three generations of women who lived through different kinds of changes in the Chinese political and economic systems and in education. The women attended university in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1970s respectively. In-depth interviews were conducted to elicit recollections of their experiences to see how they obtained education and then used it in the workplace and the family. A comparison of the three generations demonstrated if and how the interplay among education, work and family changed over time. The findings suggested that the life-lines of the women were ultimately shaped by politics rather than gender-based issues. Educational reforms affected women in China differently. Whether women from intellectual families or worker/peasant families were favored depended on shifts in state policy. The women's age of entry to university and distribution in the academic disciplines also reflected such shifts. Higher education led women to work. Unlike women in the West, whose careers are often characterized by an "exit and reentry" pattern during the child bearing and rearing phases of their lives, the Chinese women in this study maintained uninterrupted careers. However, they tended to enter "traditionally feminine" occupations such as teaching and enjoyed lower promotion prospects than their male peers. Women compromised with education and career with late marriage and low fertility. While they remained in employment, how they coped varied by generation, depending on whether the political situation allowed the hiring of servants. Women deprived of domestic support were torn between work and family. Their husbands' assistance was limited, and sex role division of domestic labor perpetuated. Ironically, all the women shared the false consciousness that they had achieved equality with their husbands. Background data set a context for the field data. They included educational reforms and major events and policy changes toward women in China since 1911.
