SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2025

A Financial Times, New York Times and Times/Sunday Times Book of the Year

'As powerfully intimate as it is politically incendiary' VOGUE
'Private Revolutions could be a Netflix series, for family, violence and romance abound' IRISH TIMES
'A portrait of China through four women who refused to accept the life laid out for them. Incredible' SUNDAY TIMES
'A revelatory, moving and tender tale of hopes, fears and change' PETER FRANKOPAN

Yuan Yang, the first Chinese-born British MP, tells the stories of four Chinese women striving for a better future in an unequal society. From June, who dreams of going to university rather than raising pigs, to Sam, forced into hiding as her activist peers are lifted from the streets, this is a singularly immersive portrait of a rapidly changing nation - and of the courage of those caught in the swell.
