书籍简介：

A century ago, Chinese feminists fighting for the emancipation of women helped spark the Republican Revolution, which overthrew the Qing empire. After China's Communist revolution of 1949, Chairman Mao famously proclaimed that "women hold up half the sky." In the early years of the People's Republic, the Communist Party sought to transform gender relations with expansive initiatives such as assigning urban women jobs in the planned economy. Yet those gains are now being eroded in China's post-socialist era. Contrary to many claims made in the mainstream media, women in China have experienced a dramatic rollback of many rights and gains relative to men. Leftover Women debunks the popular myth that women have fared well as a result of post-socialist China's economic reforms and breakneck growth. Laying out the structural discrimination against women in China will speak to broader problems with China's economy, politics, and development.

作者简介：

Li Fang is relieved that she found a husband just in the nick of time. The parents of the university graduate and former human resources manager in Beijing feared that their only daughter was getting old and might never be able to marry. Li worried that she would pass the 'best child-bearing age' and might no longer be able to give birth. She is 26.

书友短评：

@ 赛瑞 读过的最差社科学术类作品中成功登顶。从样本选取到材料处理到逻辑推论竟然可以一烂到底。断章取义、误信网络谣言、选择性呈现访谈材料（不是深度访谈了36名女性和24名男性吗，为什么呈现的材料加起来最多也就10个左右？）、双标（在媒体话语不利于自己论点时说媒体是带偏见的，有利于自己时却疯狂引用媒体话语和不知真假的数据，还是凤凰网的死忠粉）、美化古代（以为宋代女性对财产真的拥有持续独立的所有权）、缺乏证据的国家阴谋论、以个案代表全体等等等等，雷点一个不落地全踩到了。最后一章还要和社运话语扯一腿，扯着扯着还扯远了，还开始抱怨起gay生活比lesbian好多了，gay社运能借助hiv拿钱博取关注度，lesbian社运啥都没有。能踩到所有雷点也不是一般人能做到的。 @ Cynthiastar 重新看了一遍，leftover women –property-gender inquality这条线非常insightful。材料可以做的再详实一点 逻辑论证可以再完善一点 但切入的视角及引发的思考非常棒。 另外 因为最近一个事件：一位很不错的男性朋友 结婚对象真的非常一言难尽而感慨： 第一感慨 寻找到适合的另一半真的是非常困难的一件事；第二感慨 对于demographic goals of promoting marriage, planning population, and maintaining social stability 来讲， 个体的幸福真的无足轻重。在话语权力下大部分人都是草芥罢了。 @ 小枫狐狸 在牛津大学的书店里五折购入，拍了照片被微信朋友圈封，也是蛮搞笑的。到底在怕什么。学到一些新信息，学术论文都很主观的，普通读者无需太较真。
