In this editorial, we will review the social history of gender‐based labor division in ancient and contemporary China and present a few questions this thematic issue attempts to explore, namely, how to interpret and evaluate the progress feminism has achieved in China, and what to do next. We then introduce the five articles selected to be part of this thematic issue and briefly discuss their findings. Finally, we share our belief that, whereas more opportunities are being granted to contemporary Chinese women, there has not been a corresponding decline in traditional gender roles. Although women are presented with the prospect of a more active role and new responsibilities within the family realm and society, we should not settle on momentary feelings of accomplishment, but remain aware that the fight for a social structure that truly supports gender equality continues
