An overview of the status of Chinese female education is presented. The education received by males and females is compared in terms of geographic location and economic development. Although many changes have taken place in Chinese female education, there is still a great discrepancy existing between the two genders. Based on research and personal experiences, the author discusses the disparity. Pressure through traditional customs, combined effect of family and local financial dilemmas, irregular geographic location, the individual's self-commitment to upward social mobility, and the emerging educational and economic systems are some possible reasons for the disparity. In conclusion, possible approaches for the alleviation of this discrepancy are explored
