<A thread to remember a feminist ancestor>
Born 4 September 1895, #XiangJingyu was a Chinese communist, politicised by the anti-feudalism of the 1911 Revolution and the anti-imperialism of May Fourth Movement.
Part of the Communist Party of China since its founding, Xiang Jingyu became the first woman elected into the central committee and headed the Women’s Bureau.
Xiang Jingyu helped build the first national women’s movement, mobilising strikes of thousands of women workers in silk and cigaratte factories, and women’s support of the great 1925 Canton-Hong Kong strike.
