The Times are Changing Women's Employment

IN the mid- and late-1980s a debate was held in China concerning the issue of women's employment.

The subjects of Beijing silk figures are wide-ranging and come mostly from Chinese     

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

This was an excellent article. It is very important for women to know their history. The picture of the women students in France was wonderful: a picture is worth a thousand words: In two short pages I learned a great deal. But now there are many more things I want to know about the history of the education of women in China.
