| Sumario: | "Li-Hsiang Lisa Rosenlee begins the work by clarifying the intellectual tradition of Confucianism and discussing the importance of the Confucian cultural categories yin-yang and nei-wai (inner-outer) for gender ethics. In addition, the Chinese tradition of biographies of virtuous women and books of instruction by and for women is shown to provide a Confucian construction of gender. Practices such as widow chastity, footbinding, and concubinage are discussed in light of Confucian ethics and Chinese history. Rosenlee lays a foundation for a future construction of Confucian feminism as an alternative ethical ground for women's liberation."--Jacket |
