Zeng Xianzhi (Chinese: 曾宪植; 23 January 1910 – 11 October 1989) was a Chinese revolutionary and politician.[1]
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, girls in schools was a new thing, but Zeng was a member of the girls' basketball team in school. She became a "student soldier" in a branch campus of Whampoa Military Academy. Zeng was one of the first female soldiers in China during the Chinese Communist Revolution. After the establishment of the Communist State, she spent over 40 years working in the All-China Women's Federation. She devoted her life to the Chinese women's rights movement.
