On the eve of International Women’s Day in 2015, the Chinese government arrested five feminist activists and jailed them for thirty-seven days. The Feminist Five became a global cause célèbre, with Hillary Clinton speaking out on their behalf and activists inundating social media with #FreetheFive messages. But the Five are only symbols of a much larger feminist movement of civil rights lawyers, labor activists, performance artists, and online warriors prompting an unprecedented awakening among China’s educated, urban women. In Betraying Big Brother, journalist and scholar Leta Hong Fincher argues that the popular, broad-based movement poses the greatest challenge to China’s authoritarian regime today.
Through interviews with the Feminist Five and other leading Chinese activists, Hong Fincher illuminates both the difficulties they face and their “joy of betraying Big Brother,” as one of the Feminist Five wrote of the defiance she felt during her detention. Tracing the rise of a new feminist consciousness now finding expression through the #MeToo movement, and describing how the Communist regime has suppressed the history of its own feminist struggles, Betraying Big Brother is a story of how the movement against patriarchy could reconfigure China and the world.
##2.5/5 Fincher would benefit if she bothered to hire a few editors for advice, because her writing appears tediously dry and repetitive, often without delving deeper into the 'history side' of the issue, not to mention that the feminism discussed in this book seems somewhat naive and strategically flawed in excluding men from the conversation.

评分##洪理达真的literally打破了我对斯坦福的学术训练能力的幻想,两本书两个极端,但是一致的烂。leftover那本书不加论证地发表了一堆骇人听闻的言论,这本书1-7章全纪实讲故事,没有一丁点理论建构或是分析,讲的还基本是翻微信公众号都差不多能知道的故事,narrative也不咋地。我看斯坦福不行。
评分##Her narrative lacks a natural flow, and the book feels choppy. And she obviously has ill feelings toward China. That said, it's a necessary read.
评分##中规中矩,面向「局外人」普及读物。要不是这本书,我差点儿把2017年的事都忘到脑后了。非要说这本书有什么特别之处,或许就是女权主义者应该断了指望老大哥帮你平权的念头——然而「老大哥靠不住」难道不是常识么?

评分作者的观点是:父权是极权统治的重要手段,面对现在全世界的极权倾向,支持女权是最有效的应对手段。说实话一开始我是怀疑态度。也许作者研究女权所以把它看得过于重要?xxx肯定没有把女性看得重要到要当作重要打击对象吧?以对抗极权为目的呼吁大家支持女权是不是骗人的?但是看完书我被完全说服了。如果你和我一样对现在的新闻感到惊讶和困惑(杀妻轻判;家暴不立案;重新鼓吹男尊女卑三从四德这些以前被说是封建落后的东西;人口危机鼓励生育却仍然不允许单身女性生育;发反行骚扰贴纸的人要抓起来……等等),那么不要怀疑了,解释只有一个:比起生育什么的,更重要的是父权,因为那是极权的基石。另外书里还从历史的角度揭示了从国民党到xxx,女权都是被利用的。男革命家不太可能真的同情女权。夺取权力的时候利用女权,分配权利时轮不到女性
评分##非常失望
评分##这本书我当作纪录来看,当作纪念feminist five和新一代feminists 的努力吧。 虽然我并不适很赞同他们中某些人的思路(x
