About the Book

The Ming and Qing dynasties in China cast a long shadow on women's lives. "Bound by Tradition: The Oppression of Women in Ming and Qing China" explores the social and cultural structures that limited their freedoms and opportunities. Imagine a life dictated by patriarchal norms - limited education, arranged marriages, and complete subservience to men. This reality defined the existence of many women in Ming and Qing China. Confucian ideology played a central role: Filial Piety's Burden: The emphasis on obedience to fathers and husbands severely limited women's autonomy, dictating their behavior and restricting their choices. Foot Binding: The brutal practice of foot binding symbolized the suppression of women's mobility and independence. Limited Education: Formal education was largely inaccessible to women, restricting their intellectual development and economic prospects. The consequences were far-reaching: Confined to Domesticity: Confucian ideals relegated women to the domestic sphere, limiting their participation in public life and social interaction. Economic Dependence: Lack of education and restricted mobility often made women financially dependent on men, further limiting their agency. Psychological Toll: The constant pressure to conform to societal expectations and the lack of autonomy could lead to feelings of isolation and powerlessness. Despite these challenges, resistance existed: Women's Literary Voices: Some women defied expectations, expressing their experiences and frustrations through poetry and literature. Foot Binding Resistance: Not all families embraced foot binding, highlighting instances of defiance against tradition. Economic Roles: Especially in rural areas, women played crucial roles in agriculture and family businesses, demonstrating agency within a constrained environment. Understanding this history is crucial. Examining the structures of oppression allows us to appreciate the struggles women faced and the resilience they displayed in na
