About the book
The women of China are often pictured in the West with an outdated, stereotypical image of ladies, quietly waiting at the beck and call of men. But, as famed erotic photographer Bettina Rheims reveals, once visitors catch a glimpse of Shanghainese women, they will stand corrected. These are photographs of real women from all walks of life. In Rheims' search, it soon became apparent that it was not possible to define or encapsulate the ineffable essence of Shanghai's women who give life to the ancient Chinese proverb men have their say, but women have their way.''
