Abstract

Ida Pruitt is an anthropologist at Stanford University who spent two years interviewing Lao T'ai-t'ai about her life in China (1967-1938). Lao T'ai came to Ida Pruitt's room for breakfast every morning, and although Lao T'ai did not eat, she would smoke cigarettes for hours while talking to Pruitt about her life. Unfortunately, when Pruitt left and the Japanese had invaded in 1938, Pruitt never heard what had become of Lao T'ai.
Lao T'ai recounts many stories of other people, neighbors, relatives, or urban myths, which illustrated chinese customs and beliefs. I have not included these stories in this summary due to space and the minimal effect they had on explaining Lao T'ai's life.
