“An eye-opening, groundbreaking book that cast light on critical yet overlooked changes in China – and which seems more timely than ever ten years on.” ―Tania Branigan, author of Red Memory: Living, Remembering and Forgetting China’s Cultural Revolution

“The past decade has time and again underlined the prescience of Leta Hong Fincher’s Leftover Women. This groundbreaking book made a powerful case for how state propaganda and cultural norms combined to exclude Chinese women from the wealth creation springing from the country’s rapid economic development. In this new version, Hong Fincher illustrates how women are beginning to fight back, and the obstacles lined up against them. This book is more relevant than ever to anyone who wants to understand China – read it and rage.” ―Lousia Lim, Author of Indelible City, and The People’s Republic of Amnesia
