Features: Domenica Balsamo is a blonde Harvard student, the only child in her family, and also a feminist. Yet she dares to travel alone with a backpack, venturing into the world of matriarchy. From Boston to Istanbul, Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and then through Almaty to enter China. This book documents her travel research and adventures, showcasing a feminist's challenges and reflections on Central Asian culture. Domenica proves through action that women are not weak, as she states in the book: "I hope Chinese girls can understand this, don’t let traditional society tell you ‘can’t’ and then really believe you can’t."
