Title: Chinese Communist Party's Praxis with Women's Political Participation during the Democratic Revolutionary Era:A Multidimensional Assessment
Abstract: The Chinese Communist Party took up the task of liberation of women together with the liberation of oppressed classes through revolution during the New Democratic Revolutionary Era.Under the guidance of Marxist outlook on women,the liberated areas established systems to promote women's participation in politics.Although the emphasis on priority of class liberation,male-dominated politics and traditional gender-based values created a dependency status of women's political participation in the communist political system,mechanisms that had been set up to promote women's political participation had challenged the male-dominated political structure.They had also helped spread the notion of gender equality and lay an important foundation for gaining equality in politics since the founding of the People's Republic.
