Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers concerned with gender equality and women's rights who want to understand how bias operates
- Legal professionals, law students, and those interested in judicial practice
- Readers who need to cultivate a gender perspective for writing or public discussion
- Nonfiction readers who like arguments supported by real cases and statistics
Not a good fit for
- Academic researchers expecting pure theory or a comparative law monograph
- Readers who want only light stories and are unwilling to face violent crime cases
- People with strong preconceptions about gender issues who are not open to different perspectives
Reading tips
- Read the translator's preface first to understand the author's concerns and the book's structure, then enter the main case chapters.
- After each chapter, note in one sentence the bias mechanism it reveals, to connect the institutional analysis.
- When encountering statistics, don't dwell on the numbers; focus on how the author derives institutional problems from the data.
- Discuss a real case with people around you to test whether you too carry unconscious assumptions.

About the author
Paola Di Nicola is an author about whom limited public information is available; in the Chinese-language publishing record currently accessible, she has only one work, Discourse Power, which is classified under Eastern philosophy. Because basic details such as her nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are unavailable, it is difficult to sketch a complete biography, yet her writing orientation can be inferred from the work itself. In terms of subject matter, Discourse Power touches on the relationship between language, speech, and power, and carries a speculative and theoretical character, echoing the tendency toward conceptual analysis and intellectual tradition suggested by its classification as Eastern philosophy. The book's style leans toward conceptual exposition and argument rather than narrative or lyricism, and it should appeal to readers interested in intellectual questions. Although a single work makes it hard to judge her overall output, Discourse Power already offers Chinese readers an entry point into her way of thinking, and her future writing deserves continued attention.
Chen Ying was born in Shaanxi in 1977. She is a professor of Italian, doctoral supervisor, and head of the Department of Italian at Sichuan International Studies University, and holds a doctorate in linguistics from the University of Macerata in Italy. Centering on the translation and teaching of Italian literature, she is the Chinese translator of the "Neapolitan Novels" and has translated more than 40 Italian works, ranging from novels and essays to classics. The library holds 36 of her works, including Chinese translations of Fragments, The Story of a New Name, The Long Life of Marianna, The Legend of 1900, and representative works by writers such as Primo Levi and Umberto Eco. She has received the National First Prize for Translation of Less Commonly Taught Languages, the 2020 One-Way Street Translator of the Year award, the 2021 Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy, and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Translation Award. Her translations and editorial choices have had a notable influence in the field of foreign literary translation.
Yu Bingqian is an author about whom limited public information is available; the library holds only one work by this name, Discourse Power. The book is classified under Eastern philosophy, which suggests that the author's writing interests lean toward the discussion of thought and ideas rather than narrative or practical subjects. The title Discourse Power itself points to a concern with discourse, expression, and the power relations behind them, a theme with a theoretical and speculative character that echoes its placement in Eastern philosophy. Because no reliable records of the author's life, education, or writing career are currently available, it is not possible to introduce the author's identity or creative trajectory in further detail, nor to judge the place of this work within the author's personal writing. On the basis of the available information, readers may regard Discourse Power as a work of philosophical reflection centered on issues of discourse, whose value is best appreciated through reading. Further materials may allow this entry to be expanded later.
