N2  - This paper reviews recent developments in English-language scholarship on Chinese women in late imperial times, roughly 1500-1800. Topics discussed include: evolution of kinship patterns and marriage institutions; women as commodities; widow chastity and suicide; women in religion; women in historical and philosophical discourse; women in medical and legal discourse; women in literary discourse; and women's cultural opportunities, literacy, and publication. The review highlights the rapid expansion of this field since 1986, notes the richness of available sources on the period, and suggests a research agenda for the future. © 1994 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
