Feminism in Chinese communism

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was founded in China in 1921, growing quickly to eventually establish the People's Republic of China under the rule of Chairman Mao Zedong in 1949. As a Marxist–Leninist party, the Chinese Communist Party is theoretically committed to female equality, and has vowed to place women's liberation on their agenda.

A famous quote from Mao Zedong, reported to have been uttered in 1968, reflects the commitment of the new government of the People's Republic of China: "Women hold up half the sky".
