It describes how after a period during which women's property rights were steadily improving, and laws and practices affecting marriage and property were moving away from Confucian ideals, the Mongol occupation created a new constellation of property and gender relations that persisted to the end of the imperial era. It shows how the Mongol-Yu?an rule in China ironically created the conditions for radical changes in the law, which for the first time brought it into line with the goals of Learning the Way Confucians and which curtailed women's financial and personal autonomy. The book evaluates the Mongol invasion and its influence on Chinese law and society. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Chinese history, literature, and institutions. 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions$y960-1644 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a306/.0951 700 $aBirge$b Bettine$0673975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821313603321 996 $aWomen, property and Confucian reaction in Sung and Yuan China (960-1368$91285294 997 $aUNINA
