Despite the rich writing traditions about these women, their lives often remain clouded by larger moral and cultural agendas or distorted by the male authors who presented them according to their own emotional or commemorative needs. This book introduces an array of women from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who were powerful and active subjects of their own lives, and closely examines the rhetorical strategies they exploited for self-representation. This study highlights these female authors' skillful negotiation with--and appropriation of--the constrictive values of female exemplarity for self-empowerment. It draws on interdisciplinary sources to show how these authors crossed the boundaries of domains that were traditionally assumed to be closed to them--boundaries not only of gender but also of knowledge, economic power, and political engagement, as well as ritual and cultural authority"--Provided by publisher 410 0$aModern Language Initiative Books 606 $aWomen$xIntellectual life$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01176814 606 $aWomen authors, Chinese$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01177241 606 $aWomen$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01176568 606 $aVirtue$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01167717 606 $aSex role$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01114598 606 $aQing Dynasty (China)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01696773 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01074219 606 $aConfucianism$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00875076 606 $aSex role$zChina$xHistory 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zChina$xHistory 606 $aConfucianism$xSocial aspects$zChina$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zChina$y18th century 606 $aWomen$zChina$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen authors, Chinese$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zChina$xIntellectual life 606 $aFemininity$xSocial aspects$zChina$xHistory 606 $aVirtue$xSocial aspects$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$2fast 607 $aChina$xHistory$yQing dynasty, 1644-1912 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aWomen$xIntellectual life. 615 7$aWomen authors, Chinese. 615 7$aWomen. 615 7$aVirtue$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aSex role. 615 7$aQing Dynasty (China) 615 7$aPower (Social sciences) 615 7$aConfucianism$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aSex role$xHistory. 615 7$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory. 615 7$aConfucianism$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 7$aWomen 615 7$aWomen$xHistory 615 7$aWomen authors, Chinese$xHistory. 615 7$aWomen$xIntellectual life. 615 7$aFemininity$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 7$aVirtue$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a305.4095 700 $aYang$b Binbin$01472850 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798211303321 996 $aHeroines of the Qing$93685801 997 $aUNINA
