Every girl learns to be a woman, and if we give girls more room to think, they may have more choices in exploration.
The "little flower plum" in Xuzhou Feng County has shattered the world of many women's vibrato and little red books. Big girls who are moving towards independence, you should understand the living conditions of women, identify with the power of women to support each other, and work together to change the world.
"Women's Moments"
The world is a better place, starting with the first person to say "no." Author Melinda shares the plight and struggles she has witnessed for countless women at the bottom, her deep reflections on the root causes of inequality between men and women, and the efforts women have made to change the world.
The author believes that if a woman hears her own voice in another woman's story, she will become brave, and the thin voice will become a chorus. When the oppressive cultural environment is changed, when a woman can escape poverty, self-doubt, fear and shame, she will burst out with unparalleled power.
The perspective of this book ranges from women's reproductive autonomy, the right to education, housework, child marriage issues to gender discrimination in the workplace, and some readers have responded: "This book is not far from itself, and it is more inspired to have a sense of responsibility: firmly believe that we will not be changed by the world, and believe that as long as we work hard, maybe we can change the world." ”
"Dear Angelville"
A few years ago, Chima Manda Ngoz Adich received a letter from a former friend asking how the most influential Nigerian writer in American literature had raised his daughter as a feminist. "Dear Angela" is Aditge's reply to his friend.
How do you raise your daughter to be a strong, independent woman? The author argues that girls do not need to see marriage as an "achievement" and encourages readers to break down stereotypes of gender and dismiss the narrow-minded view that women's lives should be centered on the kitchen, housework, and the needs of their husbands. At the same time, it also refutes the unfair presuppositions behind seemingly progressive, fair expressions, such as women being "allowed" to succeed. She poignantly touches on the heart of 21st-century gender politics: how women should define and shape their authentic selves in the present.
Feminism from Scratch
Since the publication of Misogyny and Patriarchy and Capitalism in China, Chizuru Ueno has brought a feminist popular reading book for the average reader. Unlike difficult academic works, the language of this book is humorous and plain, easy to understand, and popularizes the connotation and history of feminism in the form of relaxed dialogue, and how to think about daily work, marriage, and childcare from a feminist perspective.
The author starts from his own experience, placing feminism in the context of personal life, telling us that feminism is not only about women, but also about the daily life of everyone: what is feminism? Why do we need feminism? How to think with feminism?
"No Words"
Zhang Jie, a writer who won two Mao Dun Literature Awards, recently passed away in the United States, and the novel "Wordless" has once again returned to people's vision. A family, four generations of women, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, from the War of Resistance and civil war, from the "Cultural Revolution" to the reform and opening up, tens of millions of women strive to move from the role of reproductive tools to personality independence, during which the heaviness, pain and bitterness can be described as bloodshed. Experience is no longer just the appearance of life, pain is no longer just a changing emotion, these recorded words let us see the common destiny of women.
"Know My Name"
In January 2015, the Stanford University sexual assault case shocked the United States. Suspect Brock Turner is a rising swimmer who has competed in Olympic qualifiers. In the face of the court's unfair trial, the victim, under the pseudonym Emily, issued a court statement, which is considered one of the most important historical documents in the United States since "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Under the influence of the case, California removed court judges and changed sexual assault legislation.
She's not Emily, her real name is Chanel Miller, a Chinese girl Chinese named Zhang Xiaoxia. She is no longer a symbolic victim, and in writing she regains healing, dignity and strength for herself and for all the girls who have suffered from her wounds—it is not only a successful indictment, but also a hand that reaches out to you and invites you to fight with her.
