Hill Gates is Professor Emerita in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and Social Work at Central Michigan University, USA.
"Gates builds her compelling and intriguing argument on a rich set of empirical data gleaned from interviews conducted with elderly women in eastern Sichuan during the early 1990s. I gladly recommend Gates’ book for the boldness of its argument and the relevance of historical materialism." – Limin The, Leiden University
