A China Books Review Best China Book of 2023
Leta Hong Fincher's landmark book Leftover Women shone a light on the resurgence of gender inequality in 21st-century China. Ten years on, women in China continue to experience a dramatic rolling back of rights and gains in the increasingly patriarchal political climate of the Xi Jinping era. Leftover Women explores the structural discrimination against women and the broader problems with China's economy, politics, and development that lie behind it. This updated edition includes a new preface exploring developments in China in the 10 years since the book's original publication, including the new "three child policy", the growth in online feminist and LGBTQ activism and the state's increasingly repressive moves against dissent.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury AcademicISBN-13:9781350323643ISBN-10:1350323640UPC:9781350323643Book Category:Social Science, History, Political ScienceBook Subcategory:Gender Studies, Asia, WorldBook Topic:China, AsianSize:8.00 x 5.00 x 0.69 inchesWeight:0.89Product ID:SCJBC43TY5
