Show Notes

If we think of patriarchy as a living, breathing, constantly evolving strategy that finds its expression at all levels of society - socially, economically, politically - its job number one is to control women - and thereby reproduction. 

Patriarchal strategies look different in different parts of the world - in some places it is embedded, disguised, and covert - in other cultures it is outspoken, brutal and overt.

In this episode Elle talks to scholar, journalist and author of Leftover Women and Betraying Big Brother Leta Hong Fincher, who has spent many years studying and writing about how women in China are finding themselves on the receiving end of both old and new patriarchal strategies in their country. But also about how women in today’s China are resisting, and fighting against domination - both in the private sphere and the public arena.
