在潘绥铭教授的主持下，中国人民大学性社会学研究所在2000年、2006年和2010年，三次对中国人的性生活与性关系进行了全国总人口的随机抽样调查。这本书就是三次调查的结果的汇总与分析。
本书深刻地揭示出，在21世纪的前10年里，中国人的性生活与性关系都发生了巨大的变化，其中有一些很出乎人们的意料。本书分为多个专题，不仅包括18～61岁中国人的性观念、性欲、性生活、性技巧等，也包括婚外情、一夜情、找“小姐”等各种非主流的性关系，还包括14～17岁少年的性状况，更包括了“多元性别”与同性恋等的情况。在每个专题里不仅发布了大量的统计数据，而且剖析了这些现象的形成原因，还从性文化的高度进行了深入阐述。

Donna Haraway analyses accounts, narratives, and stories of the creation of nature, living organisms, and cyborgs (cybernetic components); showing how deeply cultural assumptions penetrate into allegedly value-neutral medical research.

This is a book about ten women over the past three hundred years who have found walking essential to their sense of themselves, as people and as writers. Wanderers traces their footsteps, from eighteenth-century parson’s daughter Elizabeth Carter— who desired nothing more than to be taken for a vagabond in the wilds of southern England—to modern walker-writers such as Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed. For each, walking was integral, whether it was rambling for miles across the Highlands, like Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, or pacing novels into being, as Virginia Woolf did around Bloomsbury. Offering a beguiling view of the history of walking, Wanderers guides us through the different ways of seeing—of being—articulated by these ten pathfinding women.

【内容简介】
1964年，美国众议院就《民权法案》议案进行辩论的最后一天，一位议员提出，在法案第七章“就业机会平等”的条款中，应该在“种族”“肤色”“宗教”和“民族”之外增加“性别”。当《民权法案》正式颁布时，“性别”一词得以保留，该法案因此成为美国性别平权运动的里程碑，成为美国职场女性的福音。
育有幼儿的母亲遭遇招聘歧视，产假归来的新手妈妈被迫离职，男上司对女下属频频性骚扰，职场“女强人”因“不够有女人味”而升职无望……本书中的十位主人公遭遇不同形式的职场性别歧视，她们以法律为武器，勇敢地提起诉讼，最终诉至美国联邦最高法院。她们的故事鼓舞人心，她们的胜诉界定了《民权法案》第七章的范围和影响，让所有女性得以寻求曾经仅对男性开放的工作职位，争取平等薪酬，不再因结婚和抚养儿女而失业，不必忍受性骚扰和恶意的工作环境。
本书作者吉莉恩·托马斯是美国公民自由联盟高级专职律师。通过细致调查和深入访谈，作者描绘了近五十年来美国反职场性别歧视的历史变迁。在维护平等、公正的漫漫长路上，那些敢于跨出第一步的女英雄们，值得被铭记。

这是十位坚强女性的故事，她们努力工作，诚实生活，却遭遇了难以想象的困难和阻力，这一切只因为她们是女性。人人生而平等，都有自我选择的权利，性别不是决定命运的关键，一个健康的社会理应赋予每个人展现自我的机会。

透过改变女性职场环境的十个典型案件，可以发现女权主义的演变过程以及不同形态。当然，诉讼策略只能以法律上的形式平等为基础，往往很难涉及结构内部的权力关系和实质性问题。为此，我们需要多维的观察视角，需要在正义、照料以及互惠之间达成适当均衡。生物学上的性别固然不可改变，但社会、文化上的性别概念是可变的，因而也就可以成为社会进步的一种驱动装置，既可重构政治格局，也可影响知识理论。

今天，女性在经济、社会、文化等领域的地位大幅提升，“女性以牺牲、服务为荣”的说法越来越站不住脚了。崛起的女性力量既挑战了传统社会观念，也动摇了原本的社会结构。但这个改变过程中一定会出现倒退，正如这本书中勇敢的主人公们也曾遭遇困境，如果没有她们近乎倾尽所有的抗争，平等和公正只是遥遥无期的愿景。

法律有其种种限制，比如政治，比如地域，比如时间。但从观念的意义上，身为女性，我们都将永远受益于这十个案件，而观念会比一切东西都走得更远。

·
在本书的十个案件中，我们反复看到个体的愤怒、痛苦、不公感与群体无意识的对抗。强大的法治社会无须害怕这些愤怒的声音，相反，受伤者的恐惧所暴露的往往是社会自身的软弱和偏见。吉莉恩·托马斯没有为读者构织一个凯歌前进的性别平权神话，而是通过不同案件的反复、曲折，向我们展示了“平等”本身的复杂性。
——焦姣，上海大学历史学系讲师

在美国法制史上，法律与社会运动之间的联结从未像近半个世纪以来这样紧密。女权形成运动，运动催生案件，案件塑造法律，法律改变职场。作者通过对十宗大案的描摹，将这一链条丰满有力地呈现出来。她的笔调朴实无华又热情昂扬，帮助读者体味当局中人的抉择、徘徊与坚持，让法律的变革走向生动，走近生活。

作者考索晚清知识精英如何措助各种文本,将“国民常识”播植于女界的实践。因此，除了一般国民均应具备的“现今世界公共之常识”外，在此书中，也会有意凸显专为女性群体特设的类项。“男尊女卑”导致的女性各项权利的缺失，晚清以来的先进之士已不断研讨与抨击。对于当时的女性而言，争得与男性同样的权利与地位， 实为“男女平等”的正确释义。尤应注意的是，这一被取法的“男子”，亦属巳经具备“常识”的国民。在此之上或之外,又有西方女杰提供的人格典范，由此构成“中国新女国民”的理想境界。

She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral--viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time.
Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways--there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.
Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

Both Yuk-ling, a busy Hong Kong mother of two, and Chi-ying, a young single woman from a remote village in northern China, work in electronics factories owned by the same foreign corporation, manufacturing identical electronic components. After a decade of job growth and increasing foreign investment in Hong Kong and South China, both women are also participating in the spectacular economic transformation that has come to be called the South China miracle. Yet, as Ching Kwan Lee demonstrates in her unique and fascinating study of women workers on either side of the Chinese-Hong Kong border, the working lives and factory cultures of these women are vastly different.
In this rich comparative ethnography, Lee describes how two radically different factory cultures have emerged from a period of profound economic change. In Hong Kong, "matron workers" remain in factories for decades. In Guangdong, a seemingly endless number of young "maiden workers" travel to the south from northern provinces, following the promise of higher wages. Whereas the women in Hong Kong participate in a management system characterized by "familial hegemony," the young women in Guangdong find an internal system of power based on regional politics and kin connections, or "localistic despotism."
Having worked side-by-side with these women on the floors of both factories, Lee concludes that it is primarily the differences in the gender politics of the two labor markets that determine the culture of each factory. Posing an ambitious challenge to sociological theories that reduce labor politics to pure economics or state power structures, Lee argues that gender plays a crucial role in the cultures and management strategies of factories that rely heavily on women workers.

Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman.
Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap – a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.
Award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the impact this has on their health and well-being. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

20世纪五六十年代，集体化给中国农村带来了巨大变化，后世著作也对此多有研究论述。然而，中国女性，特别是农村女性，却对此鲜有发声。本书开创性地从性别研究和集体记忆的角度切入了中国当代史研究。作者用历时15年收集的口述史资料，向我们描述了陕西省某农村的72位老年妇女在20世纪五六十年代的人生变迁。通过深入分析这些被访者的人生故事，作者从女性视角出发，记载了农村社会变迁对于妇女生活产生的影响。作者让我们看到，在集体化的过程中，中国农村女性突破了小家庭的范畴，*次走向社会，融入社会。不少女性通过扫盲，获得初步知识文化，甚至获得成为农村助产士的工作机会。也有不少农村女性在集体化过程中，突破家务劳动的小圈子，进入集体劳动过程，甚至成为劳动模范，在其中获得自尊与自信的提升。集体化的过程，在某种程度上也是中国社会逐渐走向男女平等，提升妇女家庭地位和社会地位的过程。作者通过性别差异这个权力轴线，切入20世纪五六十年代中国农村的集体化，探讨了社会主义的性质以及性别在社会主义国家的重要作用。著作通过女性视角，丰富了20世纪五六十年代的历史，让我们能够更加深刻、客观地认识那一段历史。

"Tichenor provides another slam dunk against a simple, purely materialist explanation for male privilege in marriage. She shows us that even though money matters, women need an ideology of equality to draw upon to negotiate fairness in marriage."-Barbara Risman, co-chair, Council on Contemporary Families "Tichenor's research sheds light on the inner workings of families and helps us to clearly see the power of gender ideology and to understand how and why women's higher earnings can be a liability rather than a resource."-Beth Anne Shelton, professor of sociology, University of Texas at Arlington For nearly two decades the wage gap between men and women has remained virtually unchanged. Women continue to earn, on average, 80 cents for every dollar that men earn. Yet despite persistent discrimination in wages, studies are also beginning to show that a growing number of women are out-earning their husbands. Nationwide, nearly one-third of working women are the chief breadwinners in their families. The trend is particularly pronounced among the demographic of highly educated women. Does this increase in earnings, however, equate to a shift in power dynamics between husbands and wives? In Earning More and Getting Less, sociologist Veronica Jaris Tichenor shows how, historically, men have derived a great deal of power over financial and household decisions by bringing home all (or most) of the family's income. Yet, financial superiority has not been a similar source of power for women. Tichenor demonstrates how wives, instead of using their substantial incomes to negotiate more egalitarian relationships, enable their husbands to perpetuate male dominance within the family. Weaving personalaccounts, in-depth interviews, and compelling narrative, this important study reveals disturbing evidence that the conventional power relations defined by gender are powerful enough to undermine hierarchies defined by money. Earning More and Getting Less is essential reading in sociology, psychology, and family and gender studies. Veronica Jaris Tichenor is an assistant professor in the department of sociology at the State University of New York--Institute of Technology.

Since its publication in 1990, Gender Trouble has become one of the key works of contemporary feminist theory, and an essential work for anyone interested in the study of gender, queer theory, or the politics of sexuality in culture. This is the text where Judith Butler began to advance the ideas that would go on to take life as "performativity theory," as well as some of the first articulations of the possibility for subversive gender practices, and she writes in her preface to the 10th anniversary edition released in 1999 that one point of Gender Trouble was "not to prescribe a new gendered way of life [...] but to open up the field of possibility for gender [...]" Widely taught, and widely debated, Gender Trouble continues to offer a powerful critique of heteronormativity and of the function of gender in the modern world.
