As masters of the nation�� women now can find the best ways to fulfill themselves while gaining increasing senses of achievement�� happiness�� and safety�� as witnessed by the historic accomplishments they have made so far.
����This white paper is issued specifically to make the achieve-ments of women's cause in the past 70 years since New China was founded fully known to the whole world.
