Teachers of the Inner Chambers by Dorothy Ko
A Stanford University Press classic.
"Ko challenges simplistic depictions of women as victims and argues that within their social and cultural constraints, a women's literary culture developed that transcended public and private spheres and redefined womanhood. . . This multifaceted book is a breakthrough in the study of women as part of Chinese cultural and social history."—Choice
