(Artist: [https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/2015/04/china-change｜王政教授访谈：女权五姐妹的被捕与中国女/ Badiucao 吧丢草]) The Feminist Five are Li Maizi (Li Tingting), Wei Tingting, Zheng Churan, Wu Rongrong, and Wang Man, a group of women's rights activist that rose to international notoriety in 2015 after being criminally detained for planning a public awareness campaign to commemorate International Women's Day. According to author and expert on women's issues in China Leta Hong Fincher, prior to their arrests the five "were completely unknown outside China. Had the women not been detained, their activities marking International Women’s Day likely would have passed without much attention. Yet in cracking down on these largely anonymous young women, the Chinese government itself provided the spark for the creation of a powerful new symbol of feminist dissent against a patriarchal, authoritarian state: China’s 'Feminist Five.'"
