Gender Inequality in China: A Conversation with Leta Hong Fincher

Description:

In this episode, we welcome award-winning journalist and author of Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China, Leta Hong Fincher, as we discuss the challenges facing women today in China. In a society with a near universal expectation of marriage and where the under-twenty population has over 30 million more men than women, women in China face tremendous pressure to marry. Despite the major contributions made by women to China’s development, women are often excluded from property ownership, subject to restrictions on their reproductive rights, and are actively discouraged from raising legal complaints when they are victims of domestic violence.
