War has made Chinese women aware of the world

War Thrusts Opportunity

Upon China's Women

peasant

From the grandmother whose only. weapon in dealing with a spy

was her knitting needles, to slender Ma- dame Chiang Kai-shek, "the boss' wife" to 400,- 000,000 people, Chinese women more and more are getting into the country's fight against Japan.

The old peasant woman is merely one of thousands of women who are doing anything they can to help out. She was acting as a roadside passport inspec- tor in the hills near the Japanese lines, and was knitting a sock for the boys at the front as she guarded the road.

Á

suspicious-looking Chinese fled when she de- manded to see his pass- port, so she gave chase and captured him though she was armed only with her knitting needles. He was declared to be a spy in Japanese pay.

Facing The Future

average

The

Chincac woman may not play such a valorous role in China's gal- lant struggle to survive. But, like all women at war, she tries to maintain her broken work at family and do war the same time. She knits, rolls bandages, makes uniforms, dispenses first aid, feeds or- phans, nurses the wounded, weeps over her slain, and faces the future with the courage. born of necessity.

.

At the same time she may be working in a small factory or otherwise earning her daily bread in some one of the new jobs that have opened up for women in China, according to J. D. White, Associated Press correspondent, who has re- turned to the United Sates after nearly nine years in China. Mr. White has watch-.. ed the development of the Japanese-Chinese war from the vantage point of Peiping, and has travelled through much of North Chinn, Inner Mongolia, and Manchuria un-. der war conditions,

Chinese women are omorg-" ing only gradually from the seclusion of centuries. Though binül feet of girl child

still are millions of Chinese women who stump through life on deformed feet-marks of the day in China when women were part of a social system which defined ย woman's place as strictly be- hind family walls. To-day the unbound foot is a symbol of what is happening to Chinese women. Having more free- dom, they travel farther; do and learn more than did their mothers and grandmothers.

Women Awakening

of

This modern process "liberating". Chinese women was well under way when war with Japan began. But it had left untouched literally mil. lions of women in the back country. To-day China's "back-woods" are the centre of Chinese war effort. Here the awakening women are finding opportunity thrust upon them.

Among the

more specta-

cular "new women" of China are the 20,000 girls reported to be working among the guerillas.

or

I have known some of these girls," says Mr White. "They were college and high- school students when the war began. Many of them came from wealthy families, but they left luxurious homes, and either led before the Japan- slipped advance through the lines afterward to live the life of a peasant. To-day, instead of high heels they wear straw sandals. Where they used to wear the latest Shanghai creations, they now dress in plain cotton gowns or slack suits. Where once they had good food, they now live frugally. They live among the farm folk of the Interior, organising them for resistance against the Ja- panese. They write and stage propaganda plays, do welfare work, teach first aid, and nurse the wounded-in addi- tion to holding down regular jobs in hundreds of new schools set up to teach farm families to read and write.”

Girls from the cities do. all. this only after going through a basic military course where they learn the rudiments of handling a rifle and carrying on guerilla warfare. Some graduate to actual military service. From the Canton rogion como reports of one young woman who was 80 clover at guerilla strategy that she has become the lead- er of several thousand, raidors who harry, the Japanese,

outside. More than 4,000,- 000 peasant women, Chinese estimate, have had a whole new life opened up to them since the war began by simply learning to read. These women are looking forward to the vote that has been pro- mised them after the war is over and China "becomes a real democracy." Before, such ideas would have been in- comprehensible to million of Chinese women.

The world. looks to Madame Chiang Kai-shek as the per- sonification of Chinese woman, hood at war. This frail, American-educated leader of women is known to her in- timates as May-Ling (her given name) and has done everything from running an air force at the beginning of the war to nursing war or- phans,

with him throughout the day when she isn't out doing relief work, rolling bandages, or or- ganising other women for

more relief work. Having con- verted the Generalissimo to their Christianity before marriage, Madame Chiang acts as his closest adviser, his confidential secretary and in- terpreter, his "contact man" for dozens of prominent per- sonalities whom she influences through her well-known charm, The way to get an ap pointment with the Generalis- simo is "see the Madame first."

Now "grounded" from her former job as chief of Chinn's air force, Madame, Chiang still holds A position on the national air force council. Her chief duties away from home, however, are finding and financing homes and jobs for war orphans, refugees, and disabled soldiers.
