一直以来，“半边天”的形象为我们所骄傲——与许多其他国家相比，中国职业女性的比重很高。但从细致的调查中，我们发现她们从事的行业、职位、收入和待遇与男性员工有不小的差别。这种差别甚至还有拉大的趋势。招聘中的性别歧视和职场恶意骚扰更给女性的职业道路造成了阻碍。实现职场性别平等，还得从改变社会观念开始。请看本期封面故事：“半边天”遭遇“天花板”。

那些令人不胜其烦的垃圾信息究竟从何而来？面对恶意软件，我们又该如何应对？本期主题故事带你了解恼人的垃圾邮件和它背后的产业链。

中餐在欧美有着廉价的刻板印象。但在加拿大温哥华，五光十色的中餐馆、酒店却日益成为高端餐饮的代表。这与越来越富裕的中国移民是分不开的。

文化和教育是博物馆的首要任务，但博物馆能不能“下海”呢？从文创产品到商业活动，很多人觉得它为了追求利益而偏离了本质。你又是如何认为的呢？

Cover Story
Women’s Work
China’s female workforce makes less money than men, is subject to unfair and growing job discrimination, and bears the brunt of illegal workplace harassment. Official policies and guidelines are in place to help curb gender discrimination in the office, but it’s more a case of changing minds than laws.
职场“半边天”
Click Click Boom

恼人的垃圾邮件和它背后的产业链
Culinary Incursion

Forbidden Money
With China’s millennia of records, artifacts, relics, and stories, museums are a haven of peace. But, hey, history isn’t cheap. Commercializing museums by capitalizing an “cultural products” has become the new mainstream for Chinese museums-going way beyond a simple Starbucks in the Forbidden City.

The Blast that Nearly Destroyed Beijing

Kaili Blues
Director Bi Gan’s pet project, Kaili Blues, has drawn polarizing reviews. Is it a poetic masterpiece or a poorly-written, drawn-out, saccharine, boring, poorly-performed attempt at magical realism? The answer depends largely on what you expect out of Bi Gan.
