Leftover in China: The Women Shaping the World's Next Superpower by Roseann Lake
5.0
One of the most interesting books I've ever read! It gives us an comprehensive and deep insight on the contemporary situation of women in China whilst also providing a good historical explanation to why things are as they are.
Another interesting feature of this book is related to how the author establishes a close contact with several different Chinese women, narrating their 'real-life' stories and accomplishments. Rapidly, you will see yourself invested in each of their individual stories, rooting for them, while also being able to understand the core issues in Chinese women movement nowadays: gender imbalance, gender inequality in employment, marital status and so on.
A great book that I reccommend to anyone, whether they are interested in feminish and/or gender studies or just a citizen worried with social inequality.
