abstract: 'Women being left behind in the countryside by husbands who migrate to
work has been a common phenomenon in China. On the other hand, over
time, rural women''s participation in migration has increased
precipitously, many doing so after their children are older, and those
of a younger generation tend to start migrant work soon after finishing
school. Although these women may no longer be left behind physically,
their work, mobility, circularity, and frequency of return continue to
be governed by deep-rooted gender ideology that defines their role
primarily as caregivers. Through the biographical stories of two rural
women in Anhui, this article shows that traditional gender norms persist
across generations. Yingyue is of an older generation and provided care
to her husband, children, and later grandchildren when she was left
behind, when she participated in migration, and when she returned to her
village. Shuang is 30 years younger and aspires to urban lifestyle such
as living in apartments and using daycare for her young children. Yet,
like Yingyue, Shuang''s priority is caregiving. Her decisions, which are
in tandem with her parents-in-law, highlight how Chinese families stick
together as a safety net. Her desire to earn wages, an activity much
constrained by her caregiving responsibility to two young children,
illustrates a strong connection between income-generation ability and
identity among women of the younger generation. These two stories
underscore the importance of examining how women are left behind not
only physically but in their access to opportunities such as education
and income-generating activity.'
