Many of the entries are the result of original research and provide the only substantial information on women available in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf note is the inclusion of a large number of women who reached positions of authority during this period as well as women artists and writers, especially poets, during this period of increased female literacy and more liberal social attitudes to women's cultural roles. Wherever possible, entries incorporate translations of poems and sometimes prose works so as to let the women speak for themselves. The book also includes a multitude of entertainers and actresses. The volume includes a Guide to Chinese Words Used, a Chronology of Dynasties and Major Rulers, a Finding List by Background or Fields of Endeavor, and a Glossary of Chinese Names. It will prove to be a useful tool for research and teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lily Xiao Hong Lee, Sue Wiles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0765643146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765643148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 50","brand":"Lily Xiao Hong Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059668283647,"sku":"9780765643148","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69e10a05-f958-4e2c-b232-1b8a1b864146.jpg?v=1685059619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biographical-dictionary-of-chinese-women-lily-xiao-hong-lee-9780765643148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
