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。。。
##打低分的公刃快爬
##评论说得对，确实是在很主观（很外宾）地讲故事完全不学术，并没有看到想要看到的深刻分析……（倒是突然意识到这个话题确实很敏感处境确实很严峻……
##是本好书。
##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。
##非常失望
##这是一本值得读一读的书，感谢这位作者的发声
