This important book provides the first comprehensive survey of
women in China during the Sui and Tang dynasties from the sixth
through tenth centuries CE. Bret Hinsch provides rich insight into
female life in the medieval era, ranging from political power,
wealth, and work to family, religious roles, and virtues. He
explores women's lived experiences but also delves into the
subjective side of their emotional life and the ideals they
pursued. Deeply researched, the book draws on a wide range of
sources, including standard histories, poetry, prose literature,
and epigraphic sources such as epitaphs, commemorative religious
inscriptions, and Dunhuang documents. Building on the best Western
and Japanese scholarship, Hinsch also draws heavily on Chinese
scholarship, most of which is unknown outside China. As the first
study in English about women in the medieval era, this
groundbreaking work will open a new window into Chinese history for
Western readers.
