Qui Jin (born in 1875), was a Chinese revolutionary. She was a feminist, heroine, and martyr. [1][2]She was beheaded in 1907 in her early 30’s.[3] As she was growing up, Jin noticed that she contradicted the stereotypes of women. [1] [3][4][2]For example, Jin had passions for swords, poetry, wine, and bomb-making.[2] Jin was 28 when she left her kids and husband to study abroad. [1][3][4][2] She started a magazine called the “Chinese Women’s Journal (Zhongguo Nübao).[1][3][4][2] Jin also joined the Chinese secret society, known as the Triads [4][2]. She got arrested because she hid weapons, evacuated students, and destroyed documents [1][3][4][2]. Jin was asked to write something before she died. She chose to write about the meaning of her name: Autumn. [1][3][4][2]
