她的外号“富婆”,但她出生和成长于一个极度贫困的五孩农村家庭。从记事起,她就在家里干繁重的农活。她身边的女孩子们,大多数都被重男轻女的家庭早早卖了彩礼,退出了教育,在困苦的婚姻里荒废一生。她是最优秀的学生,但却一直因为交不起学费而被老师挖苦,也因为身为女性而被老师歧视打压。与此同时,她也经历了中国社会里很多女同的难以避免的痛苦。
但最后,她昂着头越过了所有的坎,在男权世界的草台班子里,女性要昂着头闯进去。真正看穿这个草台班子,就能学会认真扮演角色,同时快乐地游戏。
她对女孩们说:“世界上总有人要做第一,你就可以去做第一。”这个第一不仅仅是男权社会里的名次(比如第一个大山里的理科女状元),更是践行女权的第一:第一个在自己的公司里开启职场女性联盟的高管,第一个在自己的环境里为女同骄傲发声的人……
这是一个普通中国女性的故事,因此惊心动魄,无比动人。贯穿其中的能量来自女性之间的情谊,从偏爱孙女的奶奶,到被迫嫁人的姐姐将梦想寄托到邻家妹妹身上,到职场姐妹之间的肝胆相照。男权世界是个摇摇欲坠的草台班子,而女性的世界坚如磐石、温暖如春,是我们身心的出发点和归属之地。
