Synopsis "Images of Women in Chinese Thought & Culture: Writings From the Pre-Qin Period Through the Song Dynasty: Writings From the Pre-Qin Period to the Song Dynasty"

This rich collection of writings--many translated especially for this volume and some available in English for the first time--provides a journey through the history of Chinese culture, tracing the Chinese understanding of women as elucidated in writings spanning more than two thousand years. From the earliest oracle bone inscriptions of the Pre-Qin period through the poems and stories of the Song Dynasty, these works shed light on Chinese images of women and their roles in society in terms of such topics as human nature, cosmology, gender, and virtue.
