The year after its founding in 1949, the People¿s Republic of China began its campaign to overturn the traditional marriage system. In order to reach audiences of limited literacy, the Chinese government produced and distributed inexpensive "comic books" to farmers and workers. Li Fengjin: How the New Marriage Law Helped Chinese Women Stand Up is a lively example of this early PRC propaganda. Written in graphic novel format, the pamphlet tells the story of the injustices the young woman Li Fengjin faced under the the old marriage system, and the freedom she finally achieved with the help of the Chinese Communist Party and its marriage law. The pamphlet is essentially a facsimile of the original, but also includes an insightful introduction, useful explanatory notes, a select bibliography, and the text of the 1950 marriage law. The translation is true to the tone of CCP propaganda. Li Fengjin provides an interesting and informative overview of an important moment in modern Chinese history, with graphics that grab student interest.

This book addresses fundamental questions about marriage in moral and political philosophy. It examines promise, commitment, care, and contract to argue that marriage is not morally transformative. It argues that marriage discriminates against other forms of caring relationships and that, legally, restrictions on entry should be minimized.
