Abstract
In this thesis, I examine how well-educated Chinese women, specifically those who have obtained at least college diploma and live in cities, could deal with their present crossroad dilemma in contemporary Chinese society. It presents the crossroad dilemma that this particular group of Chinese women encounter with a historically informed anatomy, and then advocates for a possible public policy initiative for it. Essentially, the crossroad dilemma indicates an inability of this group of Chinese women to choose between two roads: either trying to prioritize their own pursuits but bearing persistent pressure and discrimination from society or complying with the existing social expectation of women but bearing a castrated life. There is no middle ground for these women to stand. Hence, I assert a new initiative that aims at liberating both Chinese women and men from their prefixed social roles by creating an embracing social environment that allow everyone to live respected lives. At the end, I provide practical policy recommendations for the Chinese Communist Party to improve their current policy strategy on women-related issues.
