This volume of the Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women
completes the four-volume project and contains more than 400
biographies of women active in the Tang through Ming dynasties
(618-1644). Many of the entries are the result of original research
and provide the only substantial information on women available in
English. Of note is the inclusion of a large number of women who
reached positions of authority during this period as well as women
artists and writers, especially poets, during this period of
increased female literacy and more liberal social attitudes to
women's cultural roles. Wherever possible, entries incorporate
translations of poems and sometimes prose works so as to let the
women speak for themselves. The book also includes a multitude of
entertainers and actresses. The volume includes a Guide to Chinese
Words Used, a Chronology of Dynasties and Major Rulers, a Finding
List by Background or Fields of Endeavor, and a Glossary of Chinese
Names. It will prove to be a useful tool for research and teaching.
