Study On The Organization And Mobilization And Production Practice Of Working Women In Gansu Province From 1949-1963

Working women are mainly farm women and women workers,but also include non-employed housewives,as well as women working in the service industry and hard labor in the cities.From 1949 to 1963,under the era theme of economic recovery and development,working women as an important labor resource received the attention of the country.Under the strong organization and mobilization of the state,the working women in Gansu Province have entered various fields of social production and changed their family and social status to a certain extent.This process shows the unique practice of Chinese socialist feminism.First of all,the organizations represented by women’s federations at all levels in Gansu Province have been promoting the work of women in Gansu Province while continuously improving their own systems by training women cadres,arranging local and migrant women for collective production and other measures.In this context,the number of urban and rural working women entering cooperative production collectives has gradually increased,and their organization has also been strengthened.However,the partial emphasis on collective production caused working women’s doubts and discomfort,which also prompted Gansu Province to address women’s labor characteristics and special interests;secondly,the learning of labor technology provided resources and motivation for women to participate in production,allowing women to break the gender shackles in some areas of skilled labor.This process merges with the official intention of constructing a "new society" of labor and political subjects,so when the instruction to improve economic efficiency makes the mastery of technology and innovative technology the only indicator of women’s labor achievements,working women are faced with the dilemma of their own survival and role perception;furthermore,from the level of ideological mobilization.By establishing the value concept of "the glory of labor",constructing idealized life scenarios,and shaping the typical image of women’s model workers,Gansu Province integrates the individual experiences of grassroots women into the macro values of building an idealized society.Finally,due to the uneven level of regional economic development,multiple ethnic cultures and other factors,Gansu Province has adopted a variety of ways to carry out women’s work,and the process of working women’s transformation of production and living conditions has also shown a diversified face.
