Bret Hinsch provides rich insight into female life in the medieval era, ranging from political power, wealth, and work to family, religious roles, and virtues. He explores women's lived experiences but also delves into the subjective side of their emotional life and the ideals they pursued. Deeply researched, the book draws on a wide range of sources, including standard histories, poetry, prose literature, and epigraphic sources such as epitaphs, commemorative religious inscriptions, and Dunhuang documents. Building on the best Western and Japanese scholarship, Hinsch also draws heavily on Chinese scholarship, most of which is unknown outside China. As the first study in English about women in the medieval era, this groundbreaking work will open a new window into Chinese history for Western readers"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $z China $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Women $z China $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Women $z China $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women $x History $y Middle Ages, 500-1500. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Tang dynasty, 618-907. 650 7 $a Tang Dynasty (China) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01696781 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women $x Middle Ages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907280 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 650 7 $a Women $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176964 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hinsch, Bret. $t Women in Tang China. $d Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2020]. $z 9781538134900 $w (DLC) 2019038811 830 0 $a Asian voices (Rowman and Littlefield, Inc.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C671816E807011EABE26D64B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
