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.

評分##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.
評分##要深度沒深度,要文筆沒文筆。。。這個敘述方式真的不吸引人,還不如報紙專欄啊。。。

評分##中規中矩,麵嚮「局外人」普及讀物。要不是這本書,我差點兒把2017年的事都忘到腦後瞭。非要說這本書有什麼特彆之處,或許就是女權主義者應該斷瞭指望老大哥幫你平權的念頭——然而「老大哥靠不住」難道不是常識麼?
評分##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.
