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. 606 $aMarriage$zChina 606 $aSex discrimination against women 615 0$aMarriage 615 0$aSex discrimination against women. 676 $a305.420951 700 $aLiu$b Qian$01057919 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911003585303321 996 $aLeftover Women in China$94385009 997 $aUNINA
