In China , a migrant and a wife share something in common .Both , albeit in very different ways, are outsiders in a new community .From the perspective of local people , migrants are outsiders who bring with them different ways of speaking , seeing , and living .In the context of family life , women are similarly seen as literal and symbolic outsiders upon marriage . Sometimes, when women migrate and marry some distance away from their home village , these two statuses converge .Our paper studies the marriage experiences of these“double-outsiders.” Drawing on fieldwork completed in 1998 , we examine migrant women' s marriage experiences in the Special Economic Zone of Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu Province .In our analysis, we begin with a description of the most likely kinds of marriages among migrant women in Zhangjiagang .Next , we discuss migrant women' s marriage experiences, highlighting the difficulties they describe .Finally , we describe the strategies they use in support of their marital and personal fulfillment .
