Download or read book Women in Early Imperial China written by Bret Hinsch and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a long spell of chaos, the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BCE–220 CE) saw the unification of the Chinese Empire under a single ruler, government, and code of law. During this era, changing social and political institutions affected the ways people conceived of womanhood. New ideals were promulgated, and women's lives gradually altered to conform to them. And under the new political system, the rulers' consorts and their families obtained powerful roles that allowed women unprecedented influence in the highest level of government. Recognized as the leading work in the field, this introductory survey offers the first sustained history of women in the early imperial era. Now in a revised edition that incorporates the latest scholarship and theoretical approaches, the book draws on extensive primary and secondary sources in Chinese and Japanese to paint a remarkably detailed picture of the distant past. Bret Hinsch's introductory chapters orient the nonspecialist to early imperial Chinese society; subsequent chapters discuss women's roles from the multiple perspectives of kinship, wealth and work, law, government, learning, ritual, and cosmology. An enhanced array of line drawings, a Chinese-character glossary, and extensive notes and bibliography enhance the author's discussion. Historians and students of gender and early China alike will find this book an invaluable overview.

Download or read book Cases Battles and Blessings of a Lifetime written by R. Timothy McCrum and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1981, R. Timothy McCrum had just finished his first year of law school. Although, he had no full-time job or tangible prospects, he did have a fiancé who believed in him. In love and filled with optimism, McCrum and his new bride, Andrea, boarded a plane in Pittsburgh and headed to Oregon to create a new life together, never envisioning that twenty-four years later, they would build a beautiful log vacation home on the same Pennsylvania lake where they honeymooned. In a fascinating retelling of his life story, McCrum details his law career based in the nation’s capital from the Ronald Reagan administration through the Trump era as he practiced both in public service and with a major law firm. He reveals insights into dozens of cases from the unique perspective of a lawyer who battled the federal government and environmental activist groups at all levels of the federal courts. McCrum also describes the blessings of family life and the challenges of balancing his demanding career obligations with that family life, his personal travels, and how his Catholic faith was reawakened later in his career. Cases, Battles, and Blessings of a Lifetime shares the life story of a seasoned Washington, DC, attorney that highlights his forty years of legal battles, his family life, and his Catholic faith.
Download or read book The Culture of Sex in Ancient China written by Paul R. Goldin and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of sex was central to early Chinese thought. Discussed openly and seriously as a fundamental topic of human speculation, it was an important source of imagery and terminology that informed the classical Chinese conception of social and political relationships. This sophisticated and long-standing tradition, however, has been all but neglected by modern historians. In The Culture of Sex in Ancient China, Paul Rakita Goldin addresses central issues in the history of Chinese attitudes toward sex and gender from 500 B.C. to A.D. 400. A survey of major pre-imperial sources, including some of the most revered and influential texts in the Chinese tradition, reveals the use of the image of copulation as a metaphor for various human relations, such as those between a worshiper and his or her deity or a ruler and his subjects. In his examination of early Confucian views of women, Goldin notes that, while contradictions and ambiguities existed in the articulation of these views, women were nevertheless regarded as full participants in the Confucian project of self-transformation. He goes on to show how assumptions concerning the relationship of sexual behavior to political activity (assumptions reinforced by the habitual use of various literary tropes discussed earlier in the book) led to increasing attempts to regulate sexual behavior throughout the Han dynasty. Following the fall of the Han, this ideology was rejected by the aristocracy, who continually resisted claims of sovereignty made by impotent emperors in a succession of short-lived dynasties. Erudite and immensely entertaining, this study of intellectual conceptions of sex and sexuality in China will be welcomed by students and scholars of early China and by those with an interest in the comparative development of ancient cultures.
