Tractor Girls of Red China
“From the early 1950s, the female tractor driver was one of the most frequently seen symbols of Chinese socialist modernity. Known as the nüjie diyi (女界第一) model workers, the ‘female-kind-first’, they were part of the group of ‘the first’ women to be trained in work involving heavy machinery. She represented the group of new productive members of society that had been proletarianized and had broken out of the confines of domestic work.”
