A glimpse of women's status in China: a hotel worker fights off rape, killing an assailant on May 10.
Though initially arrested for murder, Deng Yujiao now has an outpouring of support.
"Ms. Deng's lawyers have said she was acting in self-defense when the men tried to rape her after she refused to have sex with them for money," writes Loretta Chao in The Wall Street Journal, May 28. "The case has sparked public anguish over the issue of violence against women. Comments flooding in to Chinese Internet forums and blogs have been unusually sympathetic to Ms. Deng."
