CiNii 図書 - Presence and presentation : women in the Chinese literati tradition

This collection of essays focuses on the lives of Chinese women before the 10th century. An array of scholars examine historical, religious, and literary texts of medieval China (mainly from the 3rd to the 10th centuries) discovering topics which are surprisingly modern. A princess dies of a miscarriage as a result of marital violence, marriages are made to form political alliances, and an imperial consort is blamed for natural disasters. Other essays reveal the precarious lives of female entertainers and palace serving women, wifely procuring for famous husbands, self mutilation in the name of cultural virtues, and a mother's journey deeper into hell for her son's ability to achieve Buddhahood. The essayists scrutinize mostly male crafted documents but from the perspectives of the women who lived during this time.
