Born 1867. Jiang Shufang was an activist.

Jiang Shufang (, 1867-1928) was a Chinese school pioneer.

In 1897 sold her jewelry and founded the Lanling Girls School in Suzhou, which she managed until 1920: it was the first school for girls in that part of the country and became a role model for other schools for girls, which became more common in China around the year 1900. She was also known as an advocate against foot binding.
