- In this paper I will refer to the All-China Women's Federation as the ACWF. When referring to the women's federation of each local area I will append the place-name, e.g. Beijing Women's Federation. When there is no place-name appended I use the term to refer to the women's federation in the sense of the comprehensive network from the national to the local level.

- The Chinese word ertong (child) refers to children younger than shaonian (youth). According to the Xiandai Hanyu Cidian (Dictionary of Modern Chinese), “shaonian/youth” refers to children aged from ten to fifteen or sixteen. Moreover, since you'er (infant) is defined as “young ertong” (a young child), we can conclude that “ertong/child” refers to children who are aged from infancy to the early grades of elementary school. In line with this definition, in this paper I will refer to the project related to the care, nurturing and education of young children as “the children's project.”
