Feminism in China - Rana Mitter | Maiden Mother Matriarch 17

Описание: My guest today is Rana Mitter, professor of history and politics of modern China at the University of Oxford and author of many books on China, which you can see below. On the podcast we talked about Chinese sexual politics and the consequences of the one-child policy; we discussed the use of dating apps in urban China, and why women will understate their educational credentials in order to land a husband.

On the extended part of the podcast, Rana and I discussed gender non-conformity and the CCP's attitude to it. You can find extended episodes, bonus episodes, and the MMM chat community at louiseperry.substack.com
