The Kingdom of Women: Life, Love and Death in China's Mountains by Choo Wai Hong

The Kingdom of Women: Life, Love and Death in China’s Mountains
by Choo Wai Hong [305.488 Wai] 

This was a fascinating look into the rich history and the present day workings of this incredible tribe of matriarchal peoples deep in China’s mountains. Written from the perspective of an “adopted” tribe member Choo Wai Hong, she is able to weave her own personal outlook as a professional lawyer from the city, to how she came to love and eventually live with the Mosuo tribe.
