- Abstract:
The article discusses the book "Pearl S. Buck: A Cultural Biography," by Peter Conn. It is a biography of Pearl Buck who was a writer and a humanitarian also. The book explores Buck's fiction and her politics to the central position in the U.S. cultural history that they deserve and from which they have long been excluded. Buck grew up in China as the child of American missionaries. She came to abhor the Chinese culture's mistreatment of women, the basis of many of her early stories and essays, but she rebelled as strongly against her own culture's failure to live up to its claims of gender equality.
