Hu Shih and female emancipation in China

Abstract

The term "feminism" may be used to describe a world-wide cultural and political movement to secure the complete equality of women with men in the enjoyment of all human rights - moral, ethical, social, political, educational, legal and economic. As a result of these trends, in the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a revolution in the status and education of women, which first swept Europe and the United States, and then spread to Asia.
