Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist Awakening in China by Leta Hong Fincher

4.0

I find it so hard to review non-fiction, but let’s give it a go! I learnt a whole lot from this book- honestly at some points I was just floored by how unbelievable the situation is for women in China right now. This was also quite a short, fast read which would be good for anyone interested in learning more, but are intimidated by non-fiction books- it read more like an extended article. On the flip side, I wish the author had spent some more time giving us these women’s backstory and doing a bit more of a deep dive into how they came to be involved in the movement, and the affect of their imprisonment on a larger scale. Highly recommend this one if it’s something your interested in.
