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.

##作为Journalism来看1）文笔太差 2）夹杂了很多个人情感和观点；没有理论架构和仔细的论证也不能当作学术作品来看……最接近的文体可能是一篇超长op-ed？不伦不类的评价起来真是太尴尬了，也许可以给半颗感情星表示女权的主题很重要。。。
评分##是本好书。
评分##说是中国女权主义的觉醒，然而通篇讲来讲去就是五姐妹。叙事翻来覆去，重复啰嗦，个人感情色彩太浓，有损阅读体验，章节之间关系不强，理论论证站不住脚，精卫填海和秋瑾的故事联系太牵强，数据来源也模模糊糊。除了五姐妹的采访，和人民日报的几篇文章，作者似乎没有任何其他个人贡献了。

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##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##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
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.
