It describes how indigenous social change combined with foreign invasion and cultural confrontation to bring laws more into line with the goals of the radical Confucian philosophers, who wished to curtail women's financial and personal autonomy. This book provides a reevaluation of the Mongol invasion and its influence on Chinese law and society, and presents a new look at the changing position of women in premodern China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bettine Birge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521573734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521573733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.42w x 1.12d","brand":"Bettine Birge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056281022719,"sku":"9780521573733","price":72.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_479cf0df-be4e-4dce-a204-91774fdc2eff.jpg?v=1685040477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-property-and-confucian-reaction-bettine-birge-9780521573733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
