Editors Discuss Women's Publications

IT was only about ten years ago that there were only a few of newspapers and periodicals about women in China. But China has seen a rapid development of newspapers and periodicals on women since it began the policy of reform and opening to the outside world. Today the All-China Women's Federation and local women's federations sponsor and publish 47 different publications about women and children, some of which have a circulation of more than one million. These colorful, influential women's newspapers and periodicals are now some of the most interesting publications in China. Why have these publications been so successful? Recently our staff reporter interviewed several women chief editors about their work. The following interviews are in their own words.

Dear Women of China Thank you for a wonderful September issue. The cover photo was both sad and uplifting. I was drawn by the little boy＇s determined face and the title mentioning Zhouqu. I knew it had to be some kind,of disaster, and reading about the relief efforts and the people affected was touching. In the past two years, China has seen quite a few natural disasters. I wonder what may have caused these problems to begin with. I hope that the people in China will have safer futures.

In general, I really admire your magazine. I＇ve become addicted and I read your magazine every month. I think it is an essential read for anyone interested in gender equality and （anyone who） supports win-win progress for both men and women. I would like to see more debate on family and cultural issues, though, and read more about the secret to China＇s economic growth. Many thanks to the Embassy of China, in Eritrea, for distributing the magazine.

Dear Women of China,
I＇m interested in your magazine, but there＇s no way for me to get copies of it where I live. I see that your website has an electronic version of the magazine, but it＇s only one issue, it＇s a few months old, it＇s difficult to read （because you have to wait for the pages to enlarge）, and you have to click on the pages to flip them back to the table of contents or reload the whole page. It＇s extremely aggravating and not at all easy for readers to use.

Dear Women of China I was glad to see your March issue focus on International Women＇s Day. It＇s an important event and I hope it will last 100 years more. As a man who supports women＇s rights and the chance at equal opportunities for all, I think the first step toward a gender-equal society is caring about the hardships women face. It＇s sad when I sometimes see friends of mine know about these issues, but are more interested in checking out sports. I hope International Women＇s Day continues to remind us, and urge us, to care about the female half of the human population.

Chinese Women Laborers

FOR the last three years I have been working on two big projects about women around the world. One is Mothers of the World, and the other one is Working Women of the World. So I travel to different parts of the world to meet Women and photograph them. I knew from the start that I would be able to see China only very superficially, because there was no way I could spend more than two to three weeks there. I therefore     

Women and the Environment: Declaration Encourages Active Participation

JUNE 5, 1994 has been mandated World Environment Day. On this day the first meeting on Women and the Environment in China was held in Beijing and the Declaration of Chinese Women on Environment was established. According to the declaration, environmental pollution and the destruction of the ecology have posed a serious threat to the survival of the human race. It has become a great issue of common concern. The functions of women in procreation and social development are directly affected by the deterioration of the environment. It is the common interest of the populations of the world to protect the environment. The declaration notes that Chinese women are greatly concerned about the environmental conditions of their     

Chinese New Year's Prints Endure

BEFORE coming to China in 1986, I had spent months collecting all sorts of information on China and asking Chinese friends of mine about their everyday lives. So I felt fairly well informed before my trip. But when I landed in China, I was a bit disappointed. Everyihing looked so Western here. Of course, in Germany you never see a man kill a hen in the street for lunch or cabbages stacked on the sidewalk to dry in the sun. But overall, China's streets resemble those in big cities all over the world. Looking at Western-style clothing, vehicles and modern buildings, somehow I missed the Chinese flair. I knew about China's modernization drive, but I was obviously     

After the Women's Protection Law was Implemented

THREE years have passed since China.promulgated and implemented the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women, the first of its kind in China. What role has this law played and what effect has it had on the situation of Chinese women over the past three years? In April and May of 1995, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) conducted an extensive and profound investigation in eight of China's provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to
