Writing Women in Late Imperial China by Ellen Widmer
Scholars from the fields of literature, history, and art history apply a range of methodologies to newly discovered works by women writers and to other sources concerning women writers in China from 1600 to 1900.
“It would be difficult to overestimate the value of this landmark work for the study of writings by, for, and about women in late imperial China in particular, and for the period's cultural history in generalAll the papers are pathbreaking, and the discussions of such important topics as the woman writer, race and ethnicity, class, courtesans, gentrywomen, the feminine voice, and subjectivity will stimulate further exploration.”—Shuen-fu Lin, University of Michigan
