As state control of private life in China has loosened since 1980, citizens have experienced an unprecedented family revolutionan overhaul of family structure, marital practices, and gender relationships. While the nuclear family has become a privileged realm of romance and individualism symbolizing the postrevolutionary freedoms of economic and affective autonomy, womens roles in particular have been transformed, with the ideal iron girl of socialism replaced by the feminine, familyoriented good wife and wise mother.Problems and contradictions in this new domestic culture have been exposed by China's soaring divorce rate. Reading popular divorce narratives in fiction, film, and TV drama, Hui Faye Xiao shows that the representation of marital discord has become a cultural battleground for competing ideologies within postrevolutionary China. While these narratives present womens cultivation of wifely and maternal qualities as the cure for family disintegration and social unrest, Xiao shows that they in fact reflect a problematic resurgence of traditional gender roles and a powerful mode of control over supposedly autonomous private life.
