ESSAY ON: Women In Chinese Culture: Historical Analysis

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: 10 pages in length. Women of China have faced the same cultural challenges as virtually all other global societies where patriarchal influence rules. The extent to which Chinese women have experienced the ebb and flow of gender equity throughout the centuries is both grand and far-reaching; that certain historic eras have illustrated unprecedented equality between the genders speaks to the realization that even centuries ago Chinese culture recognized women's inherent value. As time progressed, however, the recurring aspect of patriarchy once again took hold and perpetuated until the latter part of the twentieth century. When one considers the theme of 'big' tradition (government) versus 'little' tradition (household and the masses), two distinct periods of time help to illustrate the diversity of one from the other. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
