In the essays she has selected for this fascinating volume, Professor Ebrey explores features of the Chinese family, gender and kinship systems as practices and ideas intimately connected to history and therefore subject to change over time. The essays cover topics ranging from dowries and the sale of women into forced concubinary, to the excesses of the imperial harem, excruciating pain of footbinding, and Confucian ideas of womanly virtue.Patricia Ebrey places these sociological anal 410 0$aCritical Asian scholarship. 606 $aWomen$zChina$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zChina$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$zChina$xSocial life and customs 606 $aFamilies$zChina$xHistory 606 $aKinship$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory. 615 0$aKinship$xHistory. 676 $a306.85/0951 700 $aEbrey$b Patricia Buckley$f1947,$0881582 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451001803321 996 $aWomen and the family in Chinese history$91968770 997 $aUNINA
