{"product_id":"gender-and-chinese-history-beverly-jo-bossler-9780295994703","title":"Gender and Chinese History: Transformative Encounters","description":"\u003cp\u003eUntil the 1980s, a common narrative about women in China had been one of victimization: women had dutifully endured a patriarchal civilization for thousands of years, living cloistered, uneducated lives separate from the larger social and cultural world, until they were liberated by political upheavals in the twentieth century. Rich scholarship on gender in China has since complicated the picture of women in Chinese society, revealing the roles women have played as active agents in their families, businesses, and artistic communities. The essays in this collection go further by assessing the ways in which the study of gender has changed our understanding of Chinese history and showing how the study of gender in China challenges our assumptions about China, the past, and gender itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beverly Jo Bossler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295994703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295994703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Beverly Jo Bossler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064817430783,"sku":"9780295994703","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ef67c8a-9cae-41df-8db8-6eb491b02f3c.jpg?v=1768671226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-and-chinese-history-beverly-jo-bossler-9780295994703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
