Sinopsis

This book offers a comparative study of the lives of young adult women and their mothers ináHong Kong and Britain. Set against the backdrop of debates regarding the consequences ofálate modern social change for family and intimate life, the authors consider the challenges of exploring these issues across differing cultures.áThe book focuses on a range of topics including: mother-daughter relationships,áromantic, sexual and marital relationship trajectories, and the imagined futures of daughters.áThroughout, it is argued that differences between Hong Kong and Britain are not attributableámerely to local culture and tradition, but are the consequence of wider social, economic andápolitical conditions through which cultural continuity and change are mediated.áWomen Doing Intimacyáwill be of interest to students and scholars of family life and genderástudies.
