However, the situation of women in enterprise ownership and leadership seems to indicate that despite such notions of disadvantage amongst women, some of them are playing a more active and significant role in China’s economic development. Based on a series of interviews with female enterprise owners, wives of enterprise owners and women managers conducted in diverse locations in three difference provinces of China, \u003cem\u003eTiger Girls\u003c\/em\u003e examines the deeper realities of women entrepreneurs in China, and by extension the role of leading women in the workforce. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy analyzing information on these women’s personal experiences, careers and families, this book investigates their status at work and at home, as well as their connections with local politics.
