Tang Qunying (; 8 December 18713 June 1937) was the first female member of the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance), a secret society and underground resistance movement founded in Tokyo, Japan by Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren in 1905. Tang has been cited as one of the "best-known women activists in modern Chinese history". She was chairwoman of the Women's Suffrage Alliance, an organization created by the merger of the Nanjing Women's Alliance, the Women's Backup Society, the Women's Martial Spirit Society, and the Women's Suffrage Comrades' Alliance in 1912. In 1913, she founded ''Women’s Rights Daily'', Hunan's first newspaper for women.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://enghunan.gov.cn/AboutHNprovince/XHistory/HunanCelebritie/201112/t20111212_439803.htm )〕 For her contributions in overthrowing the ruling dynasty in China, Sun Yat-sen personally met her and acclaimed her work and then she was awarded a second-class Jiahe (Golden Harvest) Medal.〔 ==Early life== Tang was born on 8 December 1871 in Hengshan County, Hunan, as Tang Gongyi. She was the third of seven children (three sons and four daughters), and the second-to-youngest daughter of a general during the Qing Dynasty rule.〔 At the age of three, she had already started displaying rebellious behaviour to her mother.〔 She was very close to her father who educated her and her sisters along with his sons, treating them as equals. As a child, her father recited to her the tales of Mulan and the Yang Family Warriors, to name a few.〔 She was excellent in her studies and was also a poet. She was a very talented speaker from a young age and her quick and sharp replies and arguments early in life reflected her keen and sharp intellect. She wrote the first poem "Getting up at Dawn" when she was 15, which was praised by her father and it laid the foundation for her advocating women’s rights. She learned horse riding and swordsmanship which prompted her father to call her “female knight-errant” but her mother called her "wild like a monkey". She was regarded as a child prodigy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tang Qunying」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
