Qiu Jin – China’s Feminist Pioneer and Revolutionary | Forget Me Not

Описание: In this episode of Forget Me Not, we explore the extraordinary life of Qiu Jin – a poet, feminist, and revolutionary from China’s late Qing Dynasty. Often called the "Chinese Joan of Arc," Qiu Jin defied societal norms, fighting not only for political reform but also for women’s rights.

From her early days as a young woman rejecting foot binding, to her bold decision to leave her family for revolutionary training in Japan, Qiu Jin’s story is one of courage and conviction. Discover how she used her voice to challenge oppression through poetry, political activism, and armed rebellion, becoming a martyr for the causes she believed in.

Join me as I delve into her powerful legacy and the impact she left on both China and the global feminist movement.
