About

China in World War 2 is a collaborative research initiative led by Assoc. Prof. Selda Altan at Randolph College, with student researchers Jack Bare and Westley Mendoza. This digital platform explores China’s experience in the Second World War from both social and global perspectives.

Our research centers on the unrecognized role of women in China’s resistance against Japanese occupation, particularly through organizations such as United China Relief and the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. By examining archival materials, financial records, and personal narratives, we aim to illuminate how women’s labor and leadership contributed to wartime resilience and postwar reconstruction within a framework of feminist geopolitics.

This website serves as a platform to share our findings, featuring curated bibliographies, translated documents, visualizations, and blog posts that explore various aspects of the cooperative movement and women’s contributions during this pivotal period in history.
