Abstract：Trading in rural fairs has always been an important way for Chinese farmers to supplement family income. Because of the traditional gender-based division of labor and gender norms, rural fairs had always been dominated by men. But this situation has changed after the economic reform in 1978, and since then trading in rural fair has gradually become rural women's business. Three generations of women have grown chronologically together with urbanization and marketization. The goal of this paper is to explore the relationships between the economic transition in rural China and changes in gender system by analyzing the different experiences of women of different generations working in rural fairs. This paper concludes that the process of full-scale marketization in rural China to a large extent is based on the utilization and reproduction of gender order in rural families.
