This paper evaluates Chinese educated female workers by situating them in the context of social transformation and by analyzing the structurally suppressive power relations and the national economic integration into globalization using surveys and in-depth interviews. With an ethnographic approach, this paper also intends to disclose how Chinese educated female workers have been shaped to fit the contemporary market of cultural production, to see how their labor has been devalued, and to understand how their living standards hardly improve. It also highlights the low wages and precarious nature of their jobs, resulting from hierarchical institutionalization in the aftermath of both the conglomeratization in the publishing industries and the budget cut on social welfare by the state. Additionally, this paper argues that the precarious working conditions facing Chinese female knowledge workers are brought about by flexible employment and gender, which keep these educated female workers unprotected and exploited.
