Hong-Fincher’s second work, Betraying Big Brother, picks up naturally where Leftover Women left off, beginning with the arrest of China’s “Feminist Five” on the eve of International Women’s Day, 2015.
Leftover Women was an illuminating read detailing the systematic disenfranchisement of women by the Chinese Communist Party. Leta Hong-Fincher, Betraying Big Brother: the Feminist Awakening in China, (Verso Books, 2018), 288pp.Īcademic and journalist Leta Hong-Fincher made an impressive debut some years ago with her first work, Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China (Zed Books, 2014).
