4. Chinese women are subordinate to men

Ancient China often overshadows modern China in the world’s eyes. We see a traditional culture seemingly trapped in a bygone era. We remember stories of women binding their feet, arranged marriages and male-dominated homes.

I have learned that China is ever evolving. Beijing is filled with men and women alike rushing to the subways to get to work. It is possible that in the countryside women are still expected to be quiet and demur. But this is far from true in bustling cities like Beijing. Chinese women have entered the workforce with incredible competence and are continuing to take on many more important roles in society.
