A Study Of Socialist Women's Liberation Thoughts In "Women's Review" Under The Discourse Of The Early Chinese Communist Party(1921-1923)

"Women 's Review" was founded in August 1921 as a women 's publication in the early Chinese Communist Party."Women's Review" was deeply influenced by Marxism,reflecting the development of the early Chinese women's liberation.Under the guidance of historical materialism,the editors of "Women 's Review" promoted socialist women 's liberation,called for changes in the economic system.and emphasized that only socialism can fundamentally solve women's problems.The "Women's Review" links women's emanc ipation with class emancipation and labor emancipation,and explores women 's issues from the perspective of historical materialism and settles on socialism.The realization of economic independence was recognized as a solution to women 's issues during the May 4th Movement,which was different from the bourgeois fe minist movement's view that called for labor equality and education equality,the,Women's Review" believed that the actual unreasonable economic system is the reason why women cannot realize independence,and through discussion of women 's status,reaffirmed that the economic system was unreasonable.The unreasonable economic system needs to be re formed,and the goal of the reform is to socialism,which reflects the Chinese communists' concept of fundamental social transformation."Women 's Review" introduced the women 's theories of the Japanese socialists and publicizes the achievements of the Soviet Russian women's movement through translation,it proves that only socialism can achieve true women 's liberation from the perspective of theory and reality."Women 's Review" believes that the political participation movement is an incomplete women 's movement.Only by all socialist working women 's movement can realize the women 's liberation,at the same time,bourgeois women should pay attention to the liberation of the majority of working women,women should join fo rces with working c lass men to build socialism."Women's Review",as a women's publication under the discourse of the early Chinese Communist Party,was influenced by the concept of Marxist economic transformation.Believing that reforming the economic system was the only way to solve women's problems,and called for the fundamental change of society through the joint struggle of working men and women.In addition,the liberal and anarchist women 's liberation ideas popular in the May 4th period also brought a profound impact on it.The discussion on free marriage in the "Women 's Review" clearly reflects the influence of the bourgeois feminism and anarchism."Women 's Review" also has the common shortcomings of.the early CCP women 's publications.Due to the relatively general CCP women's policies during this period,the "Women's Review"'s exploration of solving women's problems only stayed at the level of calling for social change.The specific methods,how to launch the socialist working women's movement,and other questions are vague,and the concept of class liberation above all else and the call for cooperation between men and women have also caused women's subjective consciousness and spontaneity to not be fully inspired.
