The Sage and the Second Sex: Confucianism, Ethics, and Gender

by Li Chenyang, Patricia Ebrey

Overview

This volume offers new insights into the role of women in ancient China, their important contributions to society, and their pursuit of personal growth and fulfillment. The position that Confucianism may actually foster gender equity is particularly interesting in discussions of whether the Confucian worldview is degrading or repressive toward women.
