New goal for gender equality
China DailyThe illustrated book We Are Artists is on display on a corner table in La Otra, a bookstore in Beijing. A bookstore in Beijing seeks to engage in deeper discussions about women's issues, Wang Qian reports. Cui Qichao says that when he opened the women-themed bookstore La Otra in Beijing, he started to better understand what women have actually gone through — their struggles and challenges — in the workplace and society. "As a feminist man — still a minority in society — I have faced different voices from both males and females, which, I believe, are similar to most women who have tried to defy society's norms," the 32-year-old bookstore owner says. At the entrance of the bookstore is a poster of a working woman, and the windows feature the inspirational quote, "Women can do anything."
