The Red Detachment of Women (simplified Chinese: 红色娘子军; traditional Chinese: 紅色孃子軍; pinyin: Hóngsè Niángzi Jūn) is a 1961 Chinese film by Xie Jin based on a script by Liang Xin. It is set in the 1930s and involves two peasant women who go into warfare. The cast includes Zhu Xijuan, Wang Xingang, Xiang Mei, Jin Naihua, Chen Qiang, and Niu Ben.
The Red Detachment of Women became famous after winning the PRC's best script, best director, and best actress awards in November 1961.
