"Some two thousand women participated in the Long March, but their experience of this seminal event in the history of Communist China is rarely represented. In Choosing Revolution, Helen Praeger Young presents her interviews with twenty-two veterans of the Red Army's legendary 6,000-mile "retreat to victory" before the advancing Nationalist Army.".
"Young's Choosing Revolution reveals the complex interplay between women's experiences and the official, almost mythic version of the Long March. In addition to their riveting stories of the march itself, Young's subjects reveal much about what it meant in China to grow up female and, in many cases, poor during the first decades of the twentieth century.
In speaking about the work they did and how they adapted to the demands of being a soldier, these women - both educated individuals who were well-known leaders and illiterate peasants - reveal the Long March as only one of many segments of the revolutionary paths they chose."--BOOK JACKET.
