Feminism In China

Chinese authorities have shut down a "female morality class" that provoked anger by lecturing women to shut up, accept a second-rate role in society and focus on housework, state media reported. "This is female slavery, not female morality," wrote one angry user of China's Twitter-like Weibo platform.

China has unexpectedly released five women activists on bail, two lawyers said today, after a vocal campaign against their detention by the West and Chinese rights campaigners.
