Only Hope: Coming of Age Under China's One-Child Policy. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2004. Print.
The book "Only Hope : Coming of age under Chinas one child policy" talks about how the policy has limited effectiveness in the countryside. It also states that political activists opposing the one child policy have focused on abuses. Greenhalgh found that these scholars were sometimes critical of the problems the one child policy has caused for women, but still muted in their criticism.
The book questioned whether the policy was effective and needed. It also stated studies made on the policy which are good support for the thesis. Studies present powerfull portraits of scale and scope of China's state-mandated fertility transition which supports the fact that boys were preferred and so girls were usually aborted. The imbalance in gender is exactly why china should stop the policy.
