Nübao (meaning Women’s Journal in English) was established in 1898 and as such was one of China’s first women's magazines.[1] The founder was Chen Xiefen, a Chinese feminist and journalist of the Qing era.[2] The magazine had five goals:
- Abolishing foot binding
- Educating girls
- Freeing marriage
- Jobs for women
- Equality with men.[3]
The headquarters of Nübao was in Shanghai.[4][5] The magazine was closed by the Chinese government in 1903 due to its anti-government stance.[2]
