- Date Issued:
- 1981
- Summary:
- In 1890 the YWCA established student associations in China which advanced the ideals of sexual equality. The YWCA assisted members of the Woman's National Army during the dynastic overthrow and later many of its own members, relying on skills they had learned at the "Y", went on to become leaders in the movement for women's rights. In 1908 the YWCA established its first city association in Shanghai. A prototype for later associations in China, it combined social service functions with educational endeavors. The work Has especially designed to serve displaced peasant women who had been driven by economic hardship to the city in search of factory work. The YWCA participated in the implementation of the Mass Education Movement and in 1922 began its pioneering work in industrial reform. By such catalytic action, the association helped elevate the status of women and promote the woman's movement.
