Red Lanterns (Boxer Uprising)
The Red Lanterns (simplified Chinese: 红灯照; traditional Chinese: 紅燈照; pinyin: Hóng Dēng Zhào) were a women's fighting group organized during the Boxer Uprising of 1900. Villagers said these women had supernatural powers which helped to protect the male Boxers and fight against foreign enemies.
