| Description: |
This volume reveals the existence of a previously unknown stratum of literate women among the urban gentry in 17th- and 18th-century China arguing these women, far from being oppressed or silenced, created a rich culture and meaningful existence within the constraints of the Confucian system. |
| Synopsis: |
Rejecting both popular image and accepted Western and Chinese scholarship on the status of women in premodern China, this pathbreaking work argues that literate gentrywomen in seventeenth-century Jiangnan were far from being oppressed or silenced. The author reconstructs the social, emotional, and intellectual worlds of these women from the interstices between ideology, practice, and self-perception. |
