The authors discuss the absence of women in the Confucian canonical tradition and examine the presence of women in politics, family, education, and art in premodern China, Korea, and Japan. What emerges is a concept of Confucianism that is dynamic instead of monolithic in shaping the cultures of East Asian societies. As teachers, mothers, writers, and rulers, women were active agents in this process. Neither rebels nor victims, these women embraced aspects of official norms while resisting others. The essays present a powerful image of what it meant to be female and to live a woman's life in a variety of social settings and historical circumstances. Challenging the conventional notion of Confucianism as an oppressive tradition that victimized women, this provocative book reveals it as a modern construct that does not reflect the social and cultural histories of East Asia before the nineteenth century. 606 $aWomen$zChina$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zKorea$xHistory 606 $aConfucianism$xSocial aspects 610 $a19th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aasia. 610 $aconfucianism. 610 $aconfucius. 610 $aconstruct. 610 $acontemporary. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aeast asia. 610 $aeast asian culture. 610 $aeurope. 610 $afeminism. 610 $afeminist. 610 $ainternational. 610 $amodern world. 610 $aoppression. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $ascholarship. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $aunited states. 610 $avictims. 610 $awomens issues. 610 $awomens studies. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aConfucianism$xSocial aspects. 676 $a305.4/0951 701 $aKo$b Dorothy$f1957-$0638570 701 $aHaboush$b JaHyun Kim$0636902 701 $aPiggott$b Joan R$01486813 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783299503321 996 $aWomen and Confucian cultures in premodern China, Korea, and Japan$93706426 997 $aUNINA
