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

4.0

This book is a comprehensive and grinning history of the budding feminist movement in China. It follow the feminist 5, a group of 5 women imprisoned, detained, threatened, and punished in many awful ways for simple feminist protests (such as handing out anti-domestic violence stickers in the subway).
These brave women then because the figurehead for feminism in China and are trying to spread confidence and independence to Chinese women despite constant government crack down and persecution.

This is such a good read, I recommend it to anyone interested in international feminism, China, and Chinese politics.
