Drawing on in-depth interviews and focus groups, Qian Liu examines how leftover women--including women who prefer to remain single, those who are waiting for the right husband, and queer women--deal with parental and social pressures, as well as the denial of their right to have children outside of heterosexual marriage. Sensitively exploring the distinctive patterns of parent-child interactions in Chinese families, Liu invites readers to understand leftover women's observance, evasion, and manipulation of the law in the context of intergenerational relationships and obligations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Qian Liu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520405749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520405745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Qian Liu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47039757353215,"sku":"9780520405745","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_601a40b8-c8bd-4926-b5f9-58306e13f4a0.jpg?v=1752752473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leftover-women-in-china-qian-liu-9780520405745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
