Women, Property, and Confucian Reaction in Sung and Yüan China (960-1368) (Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and Institutions) Book

This book argues that the Mongol invasion of China in the thirteenth century precipitated a lasting transformation of marriage and property laws that deprived women of their property rights and reduced their legal and economic autonomy. It describes how indigenous social change combined with foreign invasion and cultural confrontation to bring laws more into line with the goals of the radical Confucian philosophers, who wished to curtail women's financial and personal autonomy. This book provides a reevaluation of the Mongol invasion and its influence of Chinese law and society, and presents a new look at the changing position of women in pre modern China.Read More
