Do You Mean to Say That Walking Is Only for
Men? (July 14,1919)
The administration of one women’s school hides the students away as if they were
land deeds, afraid that if let out they would come in contact with something evil.
Such evil magazines as New Youth, in particular, they are not even allowed to glance
at. During the latest earth-shaking student movement, women students from Beijing
demonstrated at the Xinhuamen,37 and the girls from the School for Poor Children
were willing to go to jail as surrogates for the male students. The students from this
girls’ school were tightly locked up and not allowed to take a single step outside, as if
walking were only for males.
