Yuan Yang, the first Chinese-born British MP, tells the stories of four Chinese women striving for a better future in an unequal society.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Yuan Yang was born in 1990 in China, where she lived with her grandparents for four years before her parents brought her to the UK. She returned to China as an adult, posted there as a correspondent for the Financial Times. After the mass expulsion of journalists from China in 2020, she was one of the few journalists writing in English left in the country, ultimately moving back to the FT's London headquarters as their China-Europe Correspondent. In 2024, she was elected as the Labour MP for Earley and Woodley, becoming the first Chinese-born MP in British history. Private Revolutions is her debut book.
