内容简介
一部厚重深沉的性别思想史,献给在公私之间无处安顿的现代女性
这本书系统探讨和总结西方社会与政治思想中的女性问题,虽然是上个世纪80年代的作品了,但是所关注和讨论的问题仍然具有前沿性。在现代的中国社会中,生育、性关系、重男轻女、婚姻关系、婆媳关系等社会矛盾,无一不愿意搭上女权和女性主义的“顺风车”。互相之间的扣帽子式的论战更是稀松平常。国内的女性主义、女权意识虽然兴起迅速,但却“饰伪萌生”,那么面对当下中国社会的“女性主义”,我们需要一番正本清源,有必要问一问到底什么是女性主义?它的原初思想资源源自何处?它在当今的中国社会有当如何安放?爱尔斯坦的这本书中最应当引起我们注目的,就是她对所有关于女性主义思想所进行的深切的反思。

Content introduction
A thick and deep history of gender thoughts, dedicated to modern women who have nowhere to settle between public and private
This book systematically discusses and summarizes women's issues in Western social and political thought. Although it was written in the 1980s, the issues concerned and discussed are still cutting-edge. In modern Chinese society, social conflicts such as fertility, sexual relations, son preference, marriage relationship, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship are all willing to take the "free ride" of women's rights and feminism. Name-calling debates with each other are common. Although the domestic feminism and feminist consciousness rise rapidly, but "fake initiation", then in the face of the current Chinese society "feminism", we need to make an original source, it is necessary to ask what is feminism? Where did its original ideological resources come from? How should it be placed in today's Chinese society? What should attract our attention most in Elstein's book is her deep reflection on all feminist ideas.
