About me / Bio:
Feng Yunhe was a Chinese scientist who worked in the Chinese government from 1949 to 1954 as the Minister of Textile Industry. She was one of the founders of the China National Democratic Construction Association, one of the eight legally recognised minor political parties in the People's Republic of China. She was the first woman on record to earn a PhD in chemical engineering in the United States. She was also the first female cabinet minister in China, alongside Shi Liang and Li Dequan, who were appointed the same year. She was an expert in ramie fibre, a plant-based material that can be used to make textiles. She invented the first rayon made from grass fibres and developed a chemical denaturation process for ramie fibres, which improved the quality and production of ramie textiles. She was awarded the invention prize by the State Science and Technology Commission in 1981 for her contributions to the textile industry. She was also a member of the First to Third National People's Congress and the Fifth and Sixth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. She died in Guangzhou in 1988 at the age of 89.
