书籍简介

◎ Editor's Recommendation
★Li Yinhe's representative work, the first sociological work on female emotions and sexuality in China, pioneered Chinese women's studies
This book adopts an in-depth interview case study method, interviewing Chinese women of different ages, occupations, and educational backgrounds, covering basic facts of emotional and sexual life such as menarche, first stirrings of love, sexual repression, sex education, first love, first kiss, and premarital sex. With authentic brushstrokes and fascinating cases, it vividly records the personal experiences of Chinese women, restoring the process of a generation of women breaking free from shackles and becoming independent.
★A bestseller for over twenty years, this book is an enduring and authentic introduction to feminism that reflects local Chinese conditions, shedding light on the awakening of "their" gender consciousness and self-awareness.
The interview cases in the book are not completely unfamiliar experiences of others. The "they" in the interviews are your mothers, sisters, you, me, and every woman around us. Although these women have very different temperaments, and their sexual experiences and views also vary greatly, they all attach great importance to their "selves," for which they are happy, for which they are sad, and for which they awaken.
★Understand the love and sex experiences of a generation of women from shocking oral accounts, and re-examine current feminist hot topics.
Trace the roots to understand the inequality suffered by women in marriage and family life, and the social repression they experienced. Returning to the present, breaking the male-dominated public discourse and rebuilding gender equality provides insights for hot feminist topics on the internet.
★Feel Li Yinhe's rational and objective research methods and her academic spirit of daring to be at the forefront of the times from the lines.
"As a scholar, she is not the grand and eloquent type, nor the erudite and extensively quoted type. What she pursues is clarity in everything, even if this clarity is seen as superficial." — Wang Xiaobo
◎ Content Introduction
It should never be shameful for women to talk about sex.
From menarche and the first stirrings of love, to dating, cohabitation, and marriage, a generation that experienced sexual repression and ignorance, when did they begin their journey of sexual learning, and how will they face the challenges of childbirth, menopause, and menopause? Sociologist Li Yinhe conducted in-depth interviews with 47 Chinese women, ranging in age from 29 to 55, from all walks of life, and with different educational backgrounds; the content covers all aspects of women's emotions and sexuality, writing a history of women's lives with vivid individual cases.
China's first sociological monograph on female emotions and sexuality, a well-known introductory text on feminism. Breaking the male-dominated public discourse and listening to women's voices—every woman has her own story to tell.
