“Out of fear that women might interfere with their concerns, men made up the theory that women had no business outside of the home. By doing so, they deprived women of their natural rights. Giving women duties without rights allowed men to live in idleness while condemning women to work. Keeping women at home allowed men to pursue education while women were trapped in ignorance. Isn’t this the greatest of injustices?”

- He-Yin Zhen, an anarchist and revolutionary during the early 1900s in China. She cofounded the journal Natural Justice with her husband, Liu Shipei, shortly after the couple fled China for Tokyo in 1907. It advocated for equal rights between the genders and an end to the traditional Confucian views on women. The publication went around the community of Chinese exiles, and was also smuggled back to mainland China.
