Leftover Women in China offers an intimate empirical and theoretical analysis of the lived experience and legal consciousness of China's "leftover women," women who remain unmarried in their late twenties and beyond. Drawing on in-depth interviews and focus groups, Qian Liu examines how leftover women--including women who prefer to remain single, those who are waiting for the right husband, and queer women--deal with parental and social pressures, as well as the denial of their right to have children outside of heterosexual marriage. Sensitively exploring the distinctive patterns of parent-child interactions in Chinese families, Liu invites readers to understand leftover women's observance, evasion, and manipulation of the law in the context of intergenerational relationships and obligations.MarriageChinaSex discrimination against womenMarriageSex discrimination against women.305.420951Liu Qian1057919MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911003585303321Leftover Women in China4385009UNINA
