This accessible text provides a comprehensive survey of women's
history in China from the Neolithic period through the end of the
Qing dynasty in the early twentieth century. Rather than providing
an exhaustive chronicle of this vast subject, Bret Hinsch pinpoints
the themes that characterized distinct periods in Chinese women's
history and delves into the perception of female identity in each
era. Moving beyond the traditional focus on the late imperial era,
Hinsch explores how gender relations have developed and changed
since ancient times. His chronological look at the most important
female roles in every major dynasty showcases not only the
constraints women faced but also their vast accomplishments
throughout the millennia. Hinsch's extensive use of
Chinese-language scholarship lends his book a fresh perspective
rare among Western scholars. Professors and students will find this
an invaluable textbook for Chinese women's studies and an excellent
supplement for courses in gender studies and Chinese history.
