Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"This important book advances our understanding of issues of women and gender in premodern and especially Song-dynasty (960-1279) China."

* Nan Nu: Men, Women and Gender in China *

"Cheng’s focus on medieval China makes an important contribution broadly to the study of women, gender, and sexuality from an unprecedented angle."

* Journal of Chinese Studies *

"Offers the reader an invaluable and rare insight."

* Religious Studies Review *

"This book is crucial for people interested in gender, religion, and medicine; how these topics developed during the Song dynasty or medieval China; and how all three became intertwined and evoked debates in the modern world. Teachers will find the translated anecdotes useful for undergraduates to interpret and discuss in courses on premodern Chinese history and literature."
