Grannies, geishas, warriors, mystics, recluses, and predators_these
are the dangerous women of traditional China. Through her
exploration of the myth and history of the Ming, Victoria B. Cass
brings their world brilliantly to life. In a culture that is
resoundingly patriarchal, these women are a vivid counterpoint.
Violating state-sponsored orthodoxies, the granny mocks and mimics,
the geisha charms with her intellect, the warrior rules in icy
superiority. Using new and freshly interpreted sources, the author
leads us confidently into this surprising world, bolstering her
erudite and engaging text with stunning color and black and white
art of the period.
