具体描述
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.

##火车上看完，权当是记录，也理当被记录
评分##很尴尬的写法...算纪实感觉作者本人感情过于丰沛，算学术向又没啥分析....叙事也七上八下的，经常蹦一句前不着村后不着店....就是可能在线索有限的条件下梳理了近年社运的题材不容易，给一颗感情星.....
评分##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##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##这是一本值得读一读的书，感谢这位作者的发声
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##要深度没深度，要文笔没文笔。。。这个叙述方式真的不吸引人，还不如报纸专栏啊。。。
