![]() ![]() Sometimes the book becomes quite repetitive. The rights of women in marriage, if they find in situations of domestic abuse, the double standards for men and women, etc. And there is some of that with discussions about women not wanting to give up their careers, choosing to "settle" even though they didn't love their husbands and the sacrifices that happen with that.īut it becomes less about that and more about other topics such as property ownership. I was under the impression that it would be more about how women past a certain age fare and/or are perceived in society. I did learn a lot (how and why women are at a disadvantage when it comes to work, marriage, property ownership, marital relations, etc.), but the title doesn't quite capture what the book is about. Unfortunately as another review says it does read like a PhD dissertation. ![]() It sounded like an interesting topic that I don't know a lot about and thought this would be a good pick up. The book purports to look at the gender inequality in China and how women have gained and then lost rights in the country. To close out Women's History Month I thought I'd finish it off with a book by journalist/academic Leta Hong Fincher. ![]()
