Abstract

"Weibo Feminism: Expression, Activism, and Social Media in China" by Aviva Wei Xue and Kate Rose explores the phenomenon of online feminist expression and activism in contemporary China, specifically on the social media platform Weibo. The book documents various cases of Weibo feminism, addressing topics such as reproductive rights, period poverty, misogynistic propaganda, and feminist cultural jamming. It highlights the intersectional nature of Weibo feminism, which intersects with race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and nationalism. While the book is accessible and provides insights into feminist popular cultures and digital activism, it may overlook the contributions of real-world feminist campaigns and the diverse experiences within Chinese feminism.
