Because she was also involved in a violent nationalist group, she was arrested and executed in 1906. However, her writings on women's rights were one of the basis for the dramatic change that took place in China at his time.
It was in the early 1900's that the change in women's lives really began to take hold in China. During the 1920's for example, there were many attempts to end the practice of indenturing young girls as maids, many viewing it as the same as slavery. However, simply ending the practice was not enough, because of the nature of their servitude, they also needed to raise their "consciousness about themselves and the world around them." ("On Freeing Slave Girls," Ebrey, p. 347) This would require education and illuminates the basic theme running through all these women's rights issues: it is the education of women that would allow them to break free of their traditional roles and emerge into a new modern society of equality and opportunity.

Politics is one of the realms that women had begun to enter and one example is Deng Yingchao, a woman student who was personally involved in the May Fourth Movement of 1919. Although she went on to marry Deng Xiaoping, one of China's most powerful leaders, she remained active in women's rights issues and wrote an account of her actions during the protests in 1919. Women's rights were a major part of the May Fourth Movement with "slogans such as 'sexual equality,' 'freedom of marriage,' 'coeducational universities,' 'social contracts for women,' and 'job opportunities for women' were all put forward." ("The Spirit of the May Fourth Movement," Ebrey, p. 363)
Beginning in the 1800's from a position of traditional subservience, ignorance, abuse, and control, women broke free of their constraints, mostly through education, and by the early 1900's began to take their place among men in society, even leading in some cases like Deng Yingchao.

Conclusion China's growth rate has slowed dramatically in the last 30 years under the auspice of the One-Child Policy. In fact, at this point it is believed that growth rate is under 2% and that the population replacement rate is at 2.1%, meaning that if these numbers are accurate and hold up, the population of China could actually decrease at some point in the future.

Claims of the programs' success in general are also claimed to be highly exaggerated in official reports, which often provide the only numbers available on the subject (Jacka 2007; Xiaokang 1996). The human rights issues that the programs either directly and explicitly entail or quite predictably and verifiably lead to are the main source of the criticisms directed at China's official birth control policy and
Companies that are seeking to enter this market are likely to find it a difficult undertaking because the society remains backward. A company cannot sell products to a people who have no money, and that is the situation in China today. It is also the situation in Central America, but Central America would be much more responsive to the entry of outside companies offering funds for development and providing
