The Women's Movement of the Chinese Soviet Area in the 1930s

This study is to identify the nature of the women's movement through the analysis of the activities of women and women policy of the Chinese Soviet Area in the 1930s. It's a universal view that the Chinese women's socialist liberation made the legal equality for women in reality and women's participation in the production labor area. The model of this policy can find a Soviet area in the 1930s. The Chinese Communist party pushed ahead with the dismantling of rural order and Red Army expansion through the land revolution in circumstances of the civil war and revolution. In this process, the Soviet Government formulated a series of policies to protection women's rights, granted equal rights to women from the aspects of politics, economy, education and marriage. A large number of men had gone to the military front line in the war environment; there is a probability for women to appear in the society. Women actively participated in the revolution and expressed unprecedented revolutionary passionate and zeal. But an enthusiastic activity of women is not so taken very seriously in a soviet area. The Soviet Government could not understand that women of the public interest are mainly their class interests, simply recognized to women's issues. Though the revolution had shocked the soviet society, the core of the traditional rural social structure had not vanished. Only in women's life change temporarily changes that occurred in the revolutionary situation But women put into the economic construction and the revolutionary war with unprecedented enthusiasm, through direct experience of moving toward the liberation away from feudal oppression, stepped off to be reborn as a true self. All these provided the experience for the New China to liberate the women.
