Abstract: Professor Wang will present the hidden history of the socialist state feminists who maneuvered behind the scenes in the Chinese Communist Party to promote women’s liberation. Her research focuses on the tenacious struggles of these CCP women who joined the revolution in the early 1920s and 1930s and became part of the state power holders after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Investigating their visions, strategies, triumphs and failures, the lecture engenders the high politics of the CCP and raises fundamental questions about male dominance in movements that aim to pursue social justice. Bio: Zheng Wang is the director of the US-China Gender Studies program, which collaborates with Chinese universities to develop graduate programs in women’s and gender studies in China. She earned her PhD in Modern Chinese History from the University of California, Davis. Visit the CHR website for further information. Contact Rhonda Maynard with any questions.This Department of History lecture is supported by OSU's Institute for Chinese Studies and by a U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant to The Ohio State University East Asian Studies Center.
