Leftover in China: The Women Shaping the World's Next Superpower,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Factory Girls meets The Vagina Monologues in this fascinating narrative on Chinas single womenand why they could be the source of its economic future.Forty years ago, China enacted the onechild policy, only recently relaxed. Among many other unintended consequences, it resulted in both an enormous gender imbalancewith a predicted twenty million more men than women of marriage age by 2020and Chinas first generations of onlydaughters. Given the resources normally reserved for boys, these girls were pushed to study, excel in college, and succeed in careers, as if they were sons.Now living in an economic powerhouse, enough of these women have decided to postpone marriageor not marry at allto spawn a label: 'leftovers.' Unprecedentedly welleducated and goaloriented, they struggle to find partners in a society where gender roles have not evolved as vigorously as society itself, and where new professional opportunities have made women less willing to compromise their careers or concede to marriage for the sake of being wed. Further complicating their search for a mate, the vast majority of Chinas single men reside in and are tied to the rural areas where they were raised. This makes them geographically, economically, and educationally incompatible with citydwelling leftovers, who also face difficulty in partnering with urban men, given the urban mens general preference for more dutiful, domesticated wives.Part critique of Chinas paternalistic ideals, part playful portrait of the romantic travails of Chinas trailblazing women and their wellmeaning parents who are anxious to see their daughters snuggled into traditional wedlock, Roseann Lakes Leftover in China focuses on the lives of four individual women against a backdrop of colorful anecdotes, hundreds of interviews, and rigorous historical and demographic research to show how these 'leftovers' are the linchpin to Chinas future.
