"Happiness and Superiority: How Women Can Live Freely" Author: [Japanese] Ueno Chizuko / [Japanese] Yuyama Reiko Translator: Ma Wenhe Publisher: Beijing United Publishing Company

An action guide for women. Extreme dialogues between anger and happiness, nine matches between evenly matched opponents!

Chizuko Ueno said: "At any time, there are countless joys in a woman's life waiting for us to discover.

This book is a guide for you who want to live freely. "

Yuyama Reiko said: "Life will definitely be more interesting if you become the protagonist!"

★A spicy conversation between the famous feminist scholar Chizuko Ueno and the cultural KOL Reiko Yuyama. Combining personal growth experience and social reality, it deeply explores "how women can live freely".

★Nine themes, including chronic diseases that hinder women's survival, love and marriage, pleasure and sex, and equality in aging, analyze the social reality faced by women and confront the ills of the times. "I plan not to close my eyes no matter what happens."

★Taboo topics + incisive comments bring a refreshing reading experience. Why is romantic love just a delusion? Can feminists dress fashionably? What is the relationship between the frequency of sex and personal happiness? The fierce collision of ideas and verbal confrontations bring about the effect of 1+1>2, leading readers to think about the daily life around them.

★A topical work that changed many readers' views on "feminism". "It is a movement for women to live freely, to live the way you want, not with peer pressure or other people telling you what to do, but with 'what you want', and let us become adults who can understand this and take action."

Women have long been obsessed with the idea of ​​getting married, having children, and starting a family. Even if they finally break free from it, they don't know where to go next. Feminist scholar Chizuko Ueno and Reiko Yuyama, who comes from a musical family but does not follow the ordinary path, combine their own experiences with social reality and share super "survival skills" around multiple topics such as cultural capital, feminism, sex, and aging. Even if the external environment is ever-changing and they are getting older, women who do not set limits for themselves can still have a future worth looking forward to.
