DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the anti-imperialist efforts of women worke
 rs in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, which targeted British\, American\, and 
 Japanese imperialism in the 1920s. Aligned with the Communist Internationa
 l (Comintern) and the Soviet Union\, which supported a united front betwee
 n China’s nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (
 CCP)\, communist women organized globally through the Communist Women’s 
 Movement (CWM\, 1920–35). The CWM promoted working women’s emancipatio
 n and developed specific policies for “women of the East\,” aiming to 
 integrate Asian women into economic\, social\, and political life.\n\nIn K
 orea and Japan\, the CWM faced severe repression and operated illegally\, 
 limiting its strength\, though local communist women’s groups remained a
 ctive. In colonial Korea\, the movement aligned with anti-colonial resista
 nce\, while in “semi-colonial” China\, the CWM was stronger: it collab
 orated with the KMT’s women’s movement until 1926 and later became a m
 ajor force in CCP-controlled areas. Across all three contexts\, gender\, c
 lass\, and ethnicity intersected with anti-colonial struggle.\n\nUsing CWM
  archives and its journal Die Kommunistische Fraueninternationale this pap
 er analyzes how the CWM’s radical program was implemented in three disti
 nct Asian settings. It argues that the movement's general positions on wom
 en’s emancipation were distinctly adapted within each national and colon
 ial context.
