This biography of Candida Xu (1607-1680), granddaughter of the
prominent Chinese Christian convert and statesman Xu Guangqi
(1562-1633) and foremost Chinese Christian woman of the seventeenth
century, is based on the biography of Candida Xu titled Histoire
d'une dame chretienne de la Chine (Paris, 1688) written by her
confessor Philippe Couplet, S.J. (1623-1693), an obituary of his
mother and other writings by her eldest son, and the Xu family
history. Using these as well as other relevant European missionary
and Chinese language sources, Candida Xu's life as daughter, wife,
mother, and generous contributor to the Christian Church is
recounted. Events in her life are set in the context of historical
and religious circumstances in China at the time. Consideration of
the situation of women, particularly Christian women, draws out how
Candida Xu's faith helped her and other believing Christian women
to gain greater freedom of choice and action.
