Description

These translations of eighteen classical Chinese texts from the mid-ninth century (Tang dynasty) through the late nineteenth century (Qing dynasty) offer a comprehensive collection of primary sources focusing on gender issues in medieval and late imperial China.

The book's title reflects the sometimes ironic relationship between Confucian viewpoints and women's visibility in Chinese historical documents.

The texts, written by both men and women, show that Confucian values and scholarly practices produced a rich documentary record of women's lives.

It includes a brief guide for use by students and teachers.
