Precious Records. Women in China's Long Eighteenth Century.
Stanford. Stanford University Press. 1997. Stock ID #167713 "This first book-length study of gender relations in the Lower Yangzi region during the High Qing era (c. 1683-1839) challenges enduring late-nineteenth century perspectives that emphasized the oppression and subjugation of Chinese women. Placing women at the center of the High Qing era shows how gender relations shaped the economic, political, social and cultural changes of the age, and gives us a sense of that women felt and believed, and what they actually did, during this period." - Publisher's description.
