Radio Curious continues a conversation about gender inequality in China with Leta Hong Fincher, the author of âLeftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China.â
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor, is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producer.
Welcome to part two of our conversations about the erosion of gender equality in China with our guest Leta Hong Fincher, the author of âLeftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in Chinaâ. Her book is based in part on her research for the Ph.D. in sociology she received in 2014 from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
In this 2nd conversation we discuss the extent of what if anything is done about domestic violence in China, the difference in the retirement ages for women and men and the requirement that women submit to a gynecological examination before obtaining a civil service job.
When Leta Hong Fincher and I visited by phone on August 9, 2014 we began with a discussion of domestic violence in China.
The book Leta Hong Fincher recommends is âThe Birth of Chinese Feminism: Essential Texts in Transnational Theory,â by Lydia H. Liu, Rebecca E. Karl and Dorothy Ko.
