The Feminist Five became a global cause c l bre, 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 \u003ci\u003eBetraying Big Brother\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist and scholar Leta Hong Fincher argues that the popular, broad-based movement poses the greatest challenge to China's authoritarian regime today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough 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, \u003ci\u003eBetraying Big Brother\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of how the movement against patriarchy could reconfigure China and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeta Hong Fincher\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist and scholar who has written for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMs. Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, the BBC and CNN.
