Women in China

Chinese women Traditionally, families are always the most important unit of Chinese society, and that still holds today. In recent years, many Chinese women have received higher education, join the labor force, began to compete with men, began to become economically independent, and a new definition of the role of women was born. Confucianism and Communist movement exercised great influence on the role of Chinese women and family composition. Classical literature plays an important role in defining families and classical women.

During the Republic period in the late Qing Dynasty, the Chinese Civil War and the rise of the People's Republic of China, the lives of Chinese women changed greatly, the People's Republic of China publicly announced its commitment to gender equality. New Communist government efforts in gender equality have been resisted by historical male-dominated Chinese society, and obstacles that prevent women from seeking more equality in China still exist.

With the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the status of Chinese women has undergone major changes. The Communist Party of China and the People's Government recognize that the liberation of women, which account for half of China's population, is a necessary condition to achieve complete liberation. The new government has launched a series of laws, policies and regulations to protect women. We adopted a marriage law that allows women to divorce and manage tools, tools and tools that they do not work hard. However, male heirs are still quite emphasized. The way women can be respected is that they can give birth before one or more sons grow.

Chinese women once lived in a male dominated world. Men rule China in law and culture. It is a common practice for men to legalize men to enslave men in the form of marriage to women. In most cases, women have never been involved in governance of the country. Some dynasties are not conservative, women get more power at times. Wu Zetian's rule proved this. She rose from her position to the power to rule China. This is an exception than the rule. When the Song dynasty inherited, the man reigned again. Women's ability to gain political power is denied
