This volume presents the first English translation of the Confucian
classics, Four Books for Women, with extensive commentary by the
compiler, Wang Xiang, and introductions and annotations by
translator Ann A. Pang-White. Written by women for women's
education, the Confucian Four Books for Women spanned the 1st to
the 16th centuries, and encompass Ban Zhao's Lessons for Women,
Song Ruoxin's and Song Ruozhao's Analects for Women, Empress
Renxiaowen's Teachings for the Inner Court, and Madame Liu's
(Chaste Widow Wang's) Short Records of Models for Women. A female
counterpart to the famous Sishu (Four Books) compiled by Zhu Xi,
Wang Xiang's Nu sishu provides an invaluable look at the
long-standing history and evolution of Chinese women's writing,
education, identity, and philosophical discourse, along with their
struggles and triumphs, across the millennia and numerous Chinese
dynasties. Pang-Whites new translation brings the authors of the
Four Books for Women to life as real, living people, and
illustrates why they wrote and how their work empowered women.
