Lu Yin (1898–1934) was a Chinese feminist writer of the 20th-century. Her extensive body of work includes novels, short story collections and essays that explore the lives and hardships of Chinese women in the 20th century. Lu Yin is often associated with the May Fourth movement due to her support and espousing of its ideals during her academic career and its influences that are found in her literary works.[1] During her writing career Lu Yin advocated for women's liberation through education and wrote many critical essays on what the steps to women's emancipation in China should look like. Due to the content of her work often reflecting feminist theory and her May Fourth movement involvement, Lu Yin is cited as a prominent figure in both the canon of May Fourth writers and notable women writers of China.
