秋瑾
She was educated at home and interested in poetry from an early age. She became a widow when she was still young and became the principal of Xunxi Girls' School. Both she and her sister Xu Yunhua were part of the South Association. In 1906, she hired Qiu Jin, an anti-Qing Empire revolutionary and poet, as an assistant. They quickly became close friends. Together with Qiu Jin, Xu Zihua started the magazine "Chinese Women's News", which published about issues that were at the time considered radical feminist, such as self-education, child education, Western-style healthcare, and economic self-sufficiency. Both Wu Zhiying and Xu Zihua contributed to Qiu Jin a lot on her road of feminism, and at the same time they were also affected by Qiu Jin's ideas about equality between men and women.
