Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marriage in China, Vol. 5 Yes Claude Fortescue, that is my dear boy's name. My sister married Captain Fortescue on his return from India on his return from India, ' she repeated musingly. He did not live many years, and my sister died just before Claude went out to China. It was almost as well, it would have been such a great grief to her. But then, I suppose, he would not have gone. To let you into a little secret, I think he was very sorry to have to go back to China this time, he seemed so greatly taken with your niece - cousin, I mean. N ot that he proposed, ' said Miss Gardiner, blushing. I certainly thought he would have, but I feel sure he did not, or Lilian would have told me of it. But he was certainly greatly taken.' A girl's figure had been visible in the greenhouse for the last few minutes, and she now came into the room, a young girl in a pale green and white dress, a large straw hat, that had fallen back from off her head, still tied round her throat. Very young and very pretty, yet the first thing every stranger noticed about Lilian Grey was rather her high-bred air and carriage than her beauty. W'ith a dainty grace, that was an inherent part of herself, she now offered the first pink of the season to the dark lady; then, seeing the two elders apparently absorbed in their conversation, passed out by the open window as noiselessly as she had come in. Mrs. Betterton had indeed the air of being very much preoccupied, as she accepted with some bewilderment the flower the young girl offered with such a pretty gesture.

Download or read book Exemplary Women of Early China written by and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early China, was it correct for a woman to disobey her father, contradict her husband, or shape the public policy of a son who ruled over a dynasty or state? According to the Lienü zhuan, or Categorized Biographies of Women, it was not only appropriate but necessary for women to step in with wise counsel when fathers, husbands, or rulers strayed from the path of virtue. Compiled toward the end of the Former Han dynasty (202 BCE-9 CE) by Liu Xiang (79-8 BCE), the Lienü zhuan is the earliest extant book in the Chinese tradition solely devoted to the education of women. Far from providing a unified vision of women's roles, the text promotes a diverse and sometimes contradictory range of practices. At one extreme are exemplars resorting to suicide and self-mutilation as a means to preserve chastity and ritual orthodoxy. At the other are bold and outspoken women whose rhetorical mastery helps correct erring rulers, sons, and husbands. The text provides a fascinating overview of the representation of women's roles in early legends, formal speeches on statecraft, and highly fictionalized historical accounts during this foundational period of Chinese history. Over time, the biographies of women became a regular feature of dynastic and local histories and a vehicle for expressing and transmitting concerns about women's social, political, and domestic roles. The Lienü zhuan is also rich in information about the daily life, rituals, and domestic concerns of early China. Inspired by its accounts, artists across the millennia have depicted its stories on screens, paintings, lacquer ware, murals, and stone relief sculpture, extending its reach to literate and illiterate audiences alike.

Download or read book The Subordinated Sex written by Vern L. Bullough and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1988-10-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Subordinated Sex traces the enduring, powerful legacy of male attitudes toward women, their sexuality, and their roles as wives and mothers. Traditionally the creators and chroniclers of opinion, men have until recently written a history that reflects only their own convictions and impressions--a history rarely punctuated by a female voice and founded on an almost universal belief in women's inferiority. Acclaimed as a pioneering study when first published in 1973, Vern Bullough's work has since established itself as a standard in historical literature on women. Updated and revised with Sarah Slavin and Brenda Shelton, The Subordinated Sex is a vast survey ranging from prehistoric to contemporary times, examining a diversity of cultures, and taking into account writings from a great variety of sources. From a consideration of Babylonian legal codes to Victorian prescriptive medical pamphlets, medieval clerical treatises to Islamic erotic poetry, Bullough and his coauthors recount not only how men have portrayed women but also how they have justified their subordination of the opposite sex. In recent years, women have successfully challenged males' self-designated role as gatekeepers of written records and have found within the past a more complete view of how women lived, what they thought, and what they achieved. By focusing, however, not on women's history but on the history of men's attitudes toward their female companions, The Subordinated Sex reveals, more than any other single work, the conditions that sparked the feminist movement and the reasons it must inspire a change in the lives of men as well as women.
