Description
"Peking Second Police Ward, Community Service Group: Women's industrial work. For three or four months during the winter, the daily workshop was open to all women of the district who cared to come and sew, being paid by the piece - Some 40 women availed themselves of this privilege." The women pose as a group in front of the building
they wear traditional dress and some have brought their daughters.
This group may have had some connection with Yenching University, which was later known as Yanjing da xue.
