Features: The History of Women's Movement in Yanbei is a historical record of women's movement across the entire Yanbei region. The publication of The History of Women's Movement in Yanbei provides reliable and detailed historical materials for understanding and studying the development and evolution of women's movement in Yanbei over 56 years (1937.7-1993.7). Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, women in Yanbei were oppressed by the triple burdens of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism. Politically, they lacked independent personalities; economically, they had no status; they were denied the right to education, and their marriages were extremely restricted, leaving them trapped in the confines of feudalism. After the war broke out, the Communist Party of China and the Eighth Route Army, led by the Party, crossed the Yellow River from northern Shaanxi to Yanbei. In their efforts to mobilize the masses and establish, they awakened a group of determined women, who broke through the barriers of feudal families and bravely joined the anti-war struggle, becoming the pioneers and founders of women's movement in Yanbei. The History of Women's Movement in Yanbei is guided by Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, employing the perspectives of dialectical materialism and historical materialism. It selects and verifies facts, discards the trivial, and comprehensively and systematically records the 56-year span, categorizing chapters while respecting the original historical context. It serves as a valuable teaching material for revolutionary tradition education among women and young people, as well as for carrying forward the legacy of the past.
