One hundred years have passes since women’s movement arose in China, during which three major historic turns have been experienced. According to the author of this article, these three turns, each of which marked a new milestone in Chinese women’s movement, were symbolized/respectively by the founding of the Communist Party of China, the birth of New China, and the convocation of the Third Plenum of the CPC Eleventh Central Committee in late 1978.
In this article, the author discusses, on the theoretical plane, the targets of the study of the history of women’s movement after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and expounds her personal views in connection with the difference between Chinese women’s movement and the writing of the history of the work of women’s federations, and other questions, such as the intensions and extensions of Chinese women’s movement and its internal and external relationships.
