【Editor's Recommendation】

Last year, Chizuko Ueno's entrance speech to the University of Tokyo, "A society where your hard work won't be rewarded," sparked heated debate and propelled her to stardom as a scholar and writer. This book is her highly anticipated follow-up to the publication of her books "Misogyny" and "Patriarchy and Capitalism" in China.

This book is also Chizuko Ueno's first popular feminist work for the general public. Unlike her more complex academic works, this book is humorous and accessible. Through a casual conversational format, it introduces the connotations and history of feminism, as well as how to think about everyday issues such as work, marriage, and parenting from a feminist perspective.

This book touches on core issues of concern to modern women, revealing the many injustices and difficulties they still face in today's society. Drawing on her own experiences, Chizuko Ueno places feminism within the context of her own life, demonstrating that feminism isn't just about women; it's about everyone's daily lives.

※This book is supplemented by comics by the popular Japanese cartoonist Tanabe Nagako, allowing readers to receive a baptism of feminism in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

【Content Introduction】

What is feminism? Why do we need feminism? How do we think in a feminist way?

Focusing on these and other issues, renowned Japanese scholar Chizuko Ueno and renowned cartoonist Nagako Tadoko embarked on a feminism course from the ground up. Using humorous language and vivid comics, they retraced the development of feminism, discussing everyday issues such as mother-daughter relationships, sex, work, marriage, and parenting, and refuted stereotypes about women.

This class not only opened a new journey, but also told us that feminism is not only about women, but also about everyone's daily life.
