Product Information
A feminist movement clashing with China's authoritarian government. Featured in the Washington Post and the New York Times . On the eve of International Women's Day in 2015, the Chinese government arrested five feminist activists and jailed them for thirty-seven days. The Feminist Five became a global cause célèbre, with Hillary Clinton speaking out on their behalf and activists inundating social media with #FreetheFive messages. But the Five are only symbols of a much larger feminist movement of civil rights lawyers, labor activists, performance artists, and online warriors prompting an unprecedented awakening among China's educated, urban women. In Betraying Big Brother , journalist and scholar Leta Hong Fincher argues that the popular, broad-based movement poses the greatest challenge to China's authoritarian regime today. Through interviews with the Feminist Five and other leading Chinese activists, Hong Fincher illuminates both the difficulties they face and their "joy of betraying Big Brother," as one of the Feminist Five wrote of the defiance she felt during her detention. Tracing the rise of a new feminist consciousness now finding expression through the #MeToo movement, and describing how the Communist regime has suppressed the history of its own feminist struggles, Betraying Big Brother is a story of how the movement against patriarchy could reconfigure China and the world.

Reviews
"A vital and necessary book in a world hostile to women and girls. Leta Hong Fincher's account of a powerful network of activists is a foundational text on feminism in contemporary China, rich with scholarship and a grasp of history. It is a book to inspire and to guide all of us who insist on fighting the patriarchy globally." --Mona Eltahawy, author of Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution "A provocative, sharp-edged account of Beijing's push to cajole women to marry and fix the country's sagging birth rates. A must-read for students of feminism." --Mei Fong, author of One Child: The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment "Writing with rigor, passion, and indignation, Hong Fincher introduces a group of Chinese feminist activists who refuse to be intimidated by China's powerful patriarchal state. Offering a detailed account of the women's critiques of increasing gender inequality in China, Betraying Big Brother is a singular account of a Chinese--and now global--movement that will not be silenced" --Rebecca E. Karl, author of Mao Zedong and China in the Twentieth Century "In Betraying Big Brother , Leta Hong Fincher unlocks a fundamental truth: the subjugation of women is a key feature of authoritarian power. But in telling the harrowing story of the detention of China's Feminist Five, she may also have discovered the strongman's Achilles' Heel: a broad-based feminist movement poses an existential threat to a patriarchal state." --Rebecca MacKinnon, author of Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom "In her vivid and comprehensive work on China's emerging feminist movement, Leta Hong Fincher explores the coming of age of a generation of young activists in an authoritarian state increasingly hostile to social protest. A must-read for all seeking to understand China's feminist activists, hear their voices, and experience the day-to-day reality of their lives." --Carl Minzner, author of End of an Era: How China's Authoritarian Revival Is Undermining Its Rise, Praise for Leftover Women : "A chilling account of the pressures on Chinese strivers ... One hopes that Leftover Women will soon be translated into Chinese, as it is likely to resonate deeply with urban educated women. It seems the party has forgotten the Mao-era dictum: 'Women Hold Up Half the Sky'." - New York Times " Leftover Women should carry a health warning: this book will severely raise your blood pressure. Leta Hong Fincher's subject - researched through statistical analysis, sociological surveys and extensive first-hand interviewing - is the toxic vitality of sexism in China today." - The Guardian "Important and interesting...gender relations, in many ways so much more advanced in China than in India, are going backwards as traditions that were seemingly flattened by Mao re-emerge." - Financial Times "In Leftover Women , Leta Hong Fincher convincingly argues that an orchestrated state campaign co-opts women to marry and buy marital homes, often to the detriment of their careers and financial independence." - Wall Street Journal "A compelling piece of original research...Leta Hong Fincher, an American journalist-turned-academic, argues that the same party that pushed through the elevation of women's status in the 1950s is now trying to engineer their return to the kitchen." - The Economist
