Chen Xiefen (Chinese: 陳擷芬; pinyin: chén xié fēn; Wade-Giles: ch'en hsieh fen; pen name: Chu‘nan nūzi; 1883 – 1923), a Chinese feminist, revolutionary and journalist of the Qing era, is regarded as one of the first progressive Chinese women to utilize the press to further women’s rights. From 1899 to 1903, Chen published Nübao magazine (later renamed Nüxuebao), where she advocated for women's education, gender equality and economic independence. After her magazine was banned in 1903, Chen Xiefen emigrated to Japan, where she briefly continued to print Nübao (now titled Nüxuebao). Chen Xiefen remained active in anti-Qing revolutionary circles until her fall from the public eye in 1911.
