In the first full-length study of the subject, Janet Theiss examines a vast number of laws, legal cases, regulations, and policies to illustrate the social and political processes through which female virtue was defined, enforced, and contested. Along the way, she provides rich details of social life and cultural practices among ordinary Chinese people through narratives of criminal cases of sexual assault, harassment, adultery, and domestic violence. 606 $aChastity 606 $aWomen$zChina$xSocial conditions 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions$y1644-1912 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChastity. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a176/.0951 700 $aTheiss$b Janet M.$f1964-$01017816 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450352603321 996 $aDisgraceful matters$92389994 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00995nam a22002411i 4500 001 991002758139707536 005 20030804152813.0 008 030925s1926 it |||||||||||||||||ita 035 $ab12334790-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-038233$9ExL 040 $aBiblioteca Interfacoltà$bita$cA.t.i.
