Published in 1954, the fifth anniversary of the PRC’s founding, Women in China depicts the “women
of New China” - at work, at play, and even shaking hands with Mao - in a series of black-and-white
and color images. Presented as a set of loose plates in a brocade box, individual photographs could
be hung as inspirational decor in homes and community centers.
