It is about Leiya   who wants to escape the fate of the women in her village. Still underage 
she bluffs her way on to the factory floor.  It is about June   who at fifteen sets what her
family thinks is an impossible goal: to attend university rather than raise pigs.  It is about
Siyue   ranked second-to-bottom of her English class  who decides to prove her teachers wrong.
And it is about Sam   who becomes convinced that the only way to change her country is to
become an activist - even as the authorities slowly take her peers from the streets.    With
unprecedented access to the lives  hopes  homes  dreams and diaries of four ordinary women over
a period of six years  Private Revolutions gives a voice to those whose stories go untold. At a
time of rising state censorship and suppression  it unearths the identity of modern Chinese
society - and  through the telling  something of our own.
