中国农村留守妇女情况研究

1. 现有的关于农村妇女的社会学研究大多是使用中国南方的数据进行，本研究补充了这一领域北方地区的相关数据； 2.本研究把北方方言“奔头”和对幸福的描述联系到了一起，提供了一种对未来的不同思考方式，并展示了基于实用性和可实现目标的幸福的新视角； 3.本研究反驳了媒体对农村留守妇女的消极描述和刻板印象； 4.本研究突出了返乡妇女的视角，补充了以往研究对返乡妇女研究不足的情况； 5.本研究打破了多数以城市妇女为主体进行日常生活研究的倾向性，扩展研究焦点至农村留守妇女。

本书旨在研究中国农村留守妇女的日常生活。多年来，中国社会环境和经济状况已经有了深刻的发展和变化。了解农村留守妇女的生活，分析她们如何理解自己的日常经历，对了解农村人口、促进乡村振兴有重要意义。
本书使用定性研究的方法收集数据，基于对中国北方地区的农村留守妇女进行的半结构化访谈展开分析，从家庭内外等不同角度研究她们的经历，对于其在家庭生活中扮演的角色、对幸福的认识等作了讨论。
