This new volume of the "Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women"
spans more than 2,000 years from antiquity to the early seventh
century. It recovers the stories of more than 200 women, nearly all
of them unknown in the West. The contributors have sifted carefully
through the available sources, from the oracle bones to the
earliest legends, from Liu Xiang's didactic Biographies to official
and unofficial histories, for glimpses and insights into the lives
of women. Empresses and consorts, nuns and shamans, women of
notoriety or exemplary virtue, women of daring and women of
artistic or scholarly accomplishment - all are to be found here.
The editors have assembled the stories of women high born and low,
representing the full range of female endeavor. The biographies are
organized alphabetically within three historical groupings, to give
some context to lives lived in changing circumstances over two
millennia. A glossary, a chronology, and a finding list that
identifies women of each period by background or field of endeavor
are also provided.
