Thanks NüVoices podcast for this interview about my book LEFTOVER WOMEN!
"When Leta Hong Fincher’s book “Leftover Women” was first published ten years ago, it was considered a seminal work on Chinese feminism...A decade later, and with Xi’s continual reinforcement of patriarchal ideals and traditional family structures, the book is more pertinent than ever." https://nuvoices.com/2024/03/13/nuvoices-podcast-episode-112-leta-hong-fincher-on-the-10th-anniversary-edition-of-her-book-leftover-women/

LEFTOVER WOMEN describes "not only something related to Chinese society but to societies all around the world, deeply present in human nature. The book is a great cry for help that should be read by everyone" Thanks to Cha: Asian Literary Journal for this thoughtful review! https://chajournal.blog/2024/02/29/leftover-women/ #InternationalWomensDay #China #feminism
