Description

Explore pivotal aspects of Chinese society through this collection of essays by renowned historian Patricia Buckley Ebrey. This volume examines the Chinese family, gender roles, and kinship systems as they evolved across centuries, connecting sociological analysis to historical change. Ebrey's essays investigate diverse topics including dowry practices, forced concubinage, imperial harem dynamics, footbinding traditions, and Confucian concepts of feminine virtue. The work positions women's experiences and family structures not as static cultural constants but as practices shaped by historical forces, offering readers deeper understanding of how gender and kinship operated within Chinese civilization. Part of the Asia's Transformations and Critical Asian Scholarship series, this book brings together scholarly perspectives that challenge conventional historical narratives and illuminate the complex roles women played in shaping Chinese family life and broader society.
