The period that I found the most positive but interesting was the communist revolution and their mindset on women rights. In the article In a Different Voice Male Communist rhetoric on Women’s emancipation it states, “modern feminism in China was a handmaiden of nationalism” (21) An example given of using feminism for nationalism was Mao and Miss Zhao as her suicide was used as state propaganda as it painted Miss Zhao as a victim of out of date practices, in this case arranged marriages. In the Article Feminism appeared to be a state issue, and the government took advantage of the narrative for them to gain support.
