Abstract
This chapter explores the representations of women. Building on the Soviet experience, Korea and China developed their own versions of communist feminism that would contribute to their global circulation. Nationalist works conventionally associated with solidifying the leadership in the 1970s find influences and resonances across the socialist world with the global circulation of militant women archetypes from works such as Mother, The White-Haired Girl, and Sea of Blood and The Flower Girl. However, critique on desexualized aesthetics of female characters inadvertently relies on a binary concept of gender that reifies sexual differences. The chapter considers the communist feminists' strategy concerning the desexualization of women to combat their representation as sex objects.
