HIST 367 - Women in China

Units: 3
Survey of women’s history in traditional China with an emphasis on the late imperial period (16th to 18th centuries). Students will read Western feminist theories together with historical records on Chinese women. The objectives of the class are: 1 to critically evaluate the universalistic claims of Western theories; 2 to learn how to ask new questions about Chinese women; (3) to gain an understanding of the ways Chinese women actually experienced their lives; and (4) to examine issues related to feminism and women’s studies from a comparative perspective.
