Abstract: As a women's journal born and growing up in the background of the awakening of Chinese women's consciousness, Women's Resonance takes as the mouthpiece and listener of women as its own responsibility. After more than ten years of spring and autumn, it has long been concerned and engaged in the women's liberation movement. Its editors and writers are also advanced women who have grown up in this background, and they connect with readers by focusing on the situation and status of women in personality, family, politics and society. Whether in their own real life or in women's work, the sense of identity they show is representative and researchful, so this paper is based on the original materials of Women's Resonance from 1927 to 1937, and takes historical time as a clue. It also discusses how the editors and authors of "Women's Resonance" spread identity and women's emancipation in the process of social development under the collision of feudal and advanced ideas at that time. The first chapter of this paper is mainly a general overview of the background of the emergence of "Women's Resonance," from the perspective of social gender. Through an analysis of the current situation of the political, economic, cultural, and publishing environment at that time, from large to small, from macro to micro, the reasons and purposes for the founding of the journal under the social conditions at that time were analyzed. Here, I will make a detailed introduction to the journal, such as all the staff and editors of the journal, the column setting and the content setting of the entire magazine, so that readers can have a detailed understanding of the origin and basic situation of "Women's Resonance," in order to pave the way for the following chapters. The second chapter mainly starts with the focus of the propaganda in the initial stage of the publication of "women's resonance." It is found that in this period, editors mainly advocated the equality of women's personality, and based on this principle, they advocated to get rid of the oppression of the old ethics and advocated the independent choice of "new women," and discussed it from two aspects of personality and human rights. The third chapter begins with the ethical status of women and examines the ethical status of women in marriage and family roles. Especially under the influence of the world economic crisis and the trend of revivalism, how did the magazine respond to and refute the opinions of advocating "women go home" and "modern women" and "women's vases." The fourth chapter discusses the responsibility and obligation of women as "citizens" in the serious political environment in China. In short, whether it is from the "new women" themselves or their roles in the family and society, "Women's Resonance" workers have always promoted the idea of women's liberation from the perspective of social development, from the family to the society to the country, women's gender has been refined and expanded step by step, and women's liberation has also been deepened step by step. This paper is not only a response to the history of the dissemination of the concept of women's liberation, but also hopes to provide some information for the subsequent research.
