Single Mothers and the State's Embrace: Reproductive Agency in Vietnam

Seattle, Washington, University of Washington Press, 2022. First Edition. Softcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. From the publisher's blurb, "In the mid-1980s, after the Indochina Wars, a shortage of men meant that many single women in Vietnam found themselves without suitable marital prospects. A number of these women chose to pursue single motherhood by "asking for a child" (xin con)-asking men to get them pregnant out of wedlock. Xin con appeared to be a radical departure from traditional Vietnamese kinship values and practices, which were based in Confucian patriarchal and patrilineal reproductive interests. However, this innovative solution was rooted in both pre- and postwar values, practices, and notions of gender, kinship, love, and sexuality. This ethnography explores the practice of xin con among single mothers in the postwar era and today, and considers the ways their reproductive agency was embraced rather than rejected by the Vietnamese state as it entered the global market economy. Rather than condemning or trying to restrict older single women's reproductive agency, government officials enacted policies that would accommodate both the women and the state-a strategy that represents an intriguing alignment of Confucian heritage, Communist ideology, and governing tactics and demonstrates the social power of women." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xvi [1], 2-219 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Fine

Ulrich, Laurel Thatcher

A House Full of Females: Plural Marriage and Women's Rights in Early Mormonism, 1835-1870

New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 2017. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn. Slight forward cock to spine. Stated First Edition, First Printing, with "1" in "number" line present. Previous owner's inscription, neatly rendered, being that of the Richland, Oregon-based oil paints-based fine painter, Richard Murray. From the publisher's blurb, "Laurel Thatcher Ulrich coined the popular phrase, "Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History," in the 1970s. It was originally intended to shine light on the prior lack of scholarly attention given to women in history--particularly those who appeared to play by societal rules. Resonating with women worldwide, the phrase was soon culturally co-opted to bolster those who acted in unexpected and "rebellious" ways. But the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian continued to focus on women who affect change in subtle fashion. An active member of the mainstream LDS church, Ulrich is uniquely suited to weave together diaries, letters, ledgers, albums, and meeting notes to tell the stories of first-generation Mormon women." With 12 pages of full-color illustrations, and 52 black-and-white illustrations and six maps in text. Illustrated endpapers front and rear. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xxv [1], 2-484 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
