    In terms of women benefiting, the rights granted to women during the 1950’s were a great success in social reforms compared to the agricultural reforms. Before 1949, women were sold as concubines, they fell into prostitution, had arranged marriages and little could be done about divorce. However in 1950 Mao introduced the marriage law which banned these arranged marriages and concubines. Women also had equal rights as the men in terms of owning the property, the right to divorce and to have jobs, some even within the CCP. Women benefited greatly in a social viewpoint as women were granted equal pay and those living lives as prostitutes had the chance to start anew and were sent to re-habilitation. All these changes showed a significant improvement prior to the lives they had in 1949. Another way in which Mao made changes for women was through the establishment of the Women’s Federation for Chinese women which was set up in 1949. This federation protected women’s right and promoted equality. But however it is inaccurate as Mao still had…

    Throughout the 19th century and during the early 20th century, America’s working class endured hazardous and unsanitary labor conditions. After a long day of work, industrial laborers would return to their homes that offered anything but comfort. Many of the workers, especially immigrants, lived in slums, where their needs were not met and disease spread easily. It took a group of journalist called muckrakers, such as Jane Addams and Upton Sinclair, to bring attention to labor and living conditions and make a difference. President Theodore Roosevelt coined the name muckrakers, because they “raked the mud of society” by uncovering and reporting the nation’s issues. Jane Addams cofounded Hull-House, which attracted reformers that were committed to social service, challenged boss rule and the…

    Liberation in China means two different things for a man and a woman because of the gender differences that are prevalent. For example, in traditional China women are treated unequally and are simply seen as a piece of property to their husband. They must obey his demands and also remain a slave to his family and traditions. As Yu-I told her niece, “You must remember this. In China, a woman is nothing.” The women feel a sense of worthlessness and live each day for the one that they are forced to marry. For a Chinese man, liberation means becoming stronger, more powerful, and of higher prestige. On the other hand, with a Chinese woman, liberation means being equal to that of a man and being able to live a life on her own terms rather than that of her husband’s.…

    “Molly Zhang, a 31-year-old account manager in the lighting industry, just had her second son. Now she has to pay a fine likely to total 30,000 yuan ($4,760), roughly equal to her annual salary, for violating China's one-child policy.” This is the harsh reality of people in china that are choosing to have more children without falling into the criteria China’s government has set to allow having more children. Such as ethnic minorities, who have always been able to have more than one child. For example in the event that a farming family has a girl for their first child, they are permitted to have a second child. These inconsistencies in the policy is why many have been calling for its abolishment from the beginning. (Roberts,…

    In my mind, Chinese women’s family and society status are lower than men. They are less free and have a great deal of unfair treatment, like, build a marriage. I hope to read some books related to Chinese women in the past few years to know more issue about them. I choose to read "Personal voices: Chinese Women in the 1980's" to do a book report and know something about Chinese’s women. The authors of the book are Emily Honig and Gail Hershatter. Emily Honing is Assistant Professor of History and of Women’s Studies at Yale University, and the author of Sisters and Strangers: Women in the Shanghai Cotton Mills. Gail Hershatter is Assistant Professor of History at Williams College, Massachusetts, and the author of The Worker of Tianjin. They have some experience and much knowledge about Chinese women. They let the books to be more credible. Thus, I choose this book to do the book report.…
