Product Description
Synopsis
The lives of exemplary Chinese women from the 1st century to the present times are presented in this book. Among them are scholars, writers, religious leaders, revolutionaries and a symphony conductor. Their unconventional lives represent their means of negotiating established modes of conduct for women in a male-dominated society. These are the stories of talented, resourceful women, and how they succeeded in achieving their personal aspirations. The essays include: Bao Zhao, (c. 48-c. 120): Her Role in the Formulation of Controls Imposed Upon Women in Traditional China; Xie Daoyun - The Style of a Woman Mingshi; The Emergence of Buddhist Nuns in China and Its Social Ramifications; Where are the Heroines of the Long March Now?: A Survey of their Lives and Work After 1949; and Helen Quah's Work with the Symphony Orchestras of East and Southeast Asia.
