For each period--Neolithic, Shang, Western Zhou, and Eastern Zhou--Bret Hinsch explores central aspects of female life: marriage, family life, politics, ritual, and religious roles. Deeply researched, the book draws on a wide range of Chinese scholarship and primary sources, including transmitted texts, inscriptions, and archaeological evidence. The result is a comprehensive view of women's history from the beginnings of Chinese civilization up to the beginnings of the imperial era. Clear and readable, the book will be invaluable for both students and specialists in gender studies." -- Publisher's description 000855740 546__ $$aIn English with some Chinese. 000855740 650_0 $$aWomen$$zChina$$xSocial conditions. 000855740 650_0 $$aMatriarchy$$zChina. 000855740 830_0 $$aAsian voices (Rowman and Littlefield, Inc.) 000855740 85200 $$bgen$$hHQ1767$$i.H54$$i2018 000855740 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:855740$$pGLOBAL_SET 000855740 980__ $$aBIB 000855740 980__ $$aBOOK
