Hangzhou (China) (AFP) – Women laugh as they enjoy homemade steamed buns at a rural cottage in China’s eastern province of Zhejiang, one of a growing number of women-only co-living spaces far from social pressures and male judgment. Here at “Keke’s Imaginative Space” — bearing the nickname of founder Chen Yani — participants pay 30 yuan ($4.17) a night, with costs going up to 80 yuan from the fourth day. “The all-women environment makes me feel safe,” participant Zhang Wenjing tells AFP.
