Show Notes
This week, we’re bringing you an episode from the award-winning podcast Face-Off: The U.S. vs China.
China’s leader, Mao Zedong famously said that “Women hold up half the sky.” But these days it doesn’t feel that way in China. Unfair marriage rules, difficulties getting a divorce, barriers to owning property and many more restrictions are challenging women to speak out, and act. On this episode, “Feminist Rebels,” we’ll hear about the Chinese “leftover women” who are veering from the traditional path and about the Chinese feminists of today.
Guest: Leta Hong Fincher, author, Left Over Women.
