The Long March of 1934-35 is the central event in modern Chinese history. This is the story of the women of the Long March, seen through the eyes of three key figures. There were 30 women walking with the elite leaders and a women's army of 3000 soldiers. The text follows the experiences of two of the elite women: Zhu De's wife, Kang Kequing, who shouldered arms and fought beside him, and Mao Zedong's wife, He Zizhen, who bore children along the way and was forced to leave them behind. The third is one of the women soldiers, Commander Wang Quanyuan.
