    [NT 51398] Summary: "This important book provides the first comprehensive survey of womenin China during the Sui and Tang dynasties from the sixth through tenthcenturies CE. Bret Hinsch provides rich insight into female life in themedieval era, ranging from political power, wealth, and work to family,religious roles, and virtues. He explores women's lived experiences but alsodelves into the subjective side of their emotional life and the ideals theypursued. Deeply researched, the book draws on a wide range of sources,including standard histories, poetry, prose literature, and epigraphicsources such as epitaphs, commemorative religious inscriptions, and Dunhuangdocuments. Building on the best Western and Japanese scholarship, Hinschalso draws heavily on Chinese scholarship, most of which is unknown outsideChina. As the first study in English about women in the medieval era, thisgroundbreaking work will open a new window into Chinese history for Westernreaders"--
