A woman's role in China & ideological influences

EPISODE NOTES This episode is about a topic I am very passionate about: women's roles in the workplace and education. A lot of people think that China is very conservative with social rights, but despite my more negative take, things have been improving immensely. I think that the problem still lies in the infrastructure of our institutions that have been around since its creation. All women around the world face similar issues, so I would say that it is certainly not limited to but perhaps different in China.
