A freshly-minted female PhD quitting her job is not really news. But when the reason for her resignation is that she “can’t find love” in the city where her university is, and when she takes her university employer for court for not letting her go, it raises quite a few eyebrows across the country. Wang Li, the female PhD in question, has won a settlement in which she was awarded the “*breach of contract” fines she had had to pay her employer, Anhui University of Finance and Economics.
