Gender Imbalance In China

Everywoman

Available for over a year

China has relaxed its one-child policy, but even so, many couples prefer to have boys. The show visits Hainan Island, which has the biggest gender imbalance in the country. Norway is the best place to be a woman, according to the United Nations - so why do some women feel like they're missing something? Plus, why riding the range is the latest stressbuster for American (cow)gals.
