The Sung Dynasty (960-1279) was a paradoxical era for Chinese women. This was a time when footbinding spread, and Confucian scholars began to insist that it was better for a widow to starve than to remarry. Yet there were also improvements in women's status in marriage and property rights. In this thoroughly original work, one of the most respected scholars of premodern China brings to life what it was like to be a woman in Sung times, from having a marriage arranged, serving parents-in-law, rearing children, and coping with concubines, to deciding what to do if widowed. Focusing on marriage, Patricia Buckley Ebrey views family life from the perspective of women. She argues that the ideas, attitudes, and practices that constituted marriage shaped women's lives, providing the context in which they could interpret the opportunities open to them, negotiate their relationships with others, and accommodate or resist those around them. Ebrey questions whether women's situations actually deteriorated in the Sung, linking their experiences to widespread social, political, economic, and cultural changes of this period. She draws from advice books, biographies, government documents, and medical treatises to show that although the family continued to be patrilineal and patriarchal, women found ways to exert their power and authority. No other book explores the history of women in pre-twentieth-century China with such energy and depth.
妻子们对于性的看法甚至于更难重新架构。盼着有一天结婚的女孩和已婚女人被教导着把强奸视为对她们人格完整性的根本侵犯，因而自杀就是最恰当的反应。由于这种原因选择自杀的女人典范在训诫性著作里常常见到，如司马光的《家范》和朱熹的《小学》，还有正史里的列女传。所有的妻子都知道人们反感可敬的女人与第二个男人建立性同盟，即便在第一个丈夫去世以后（见第十一章）。与此同时，妻子们知道男人并不认为妓女是不洁的，而且事实上经常被她们强烈地吸引。大多数妻子都能逃避运用自己的性吸引力时矛盾的感情吗？诱惑对方的行为会不会使她们感到降低了身份，或因此保住了丈夫的倾心呢？
有些男人对女人的性反应可能有公平的理解，因为确实有为愿意实践道家长寿术的人而写的性交生理学指导书。……这些思想看起来在范围很窄的圈子以外影响不大，对夫妻间性关系的影响，不超过赞赏独身生活和视性事为邪恶与肮脏的佛教文献。在当代中国，一般的丈夫似乎并不特别感觉到妻子在性意义上的存在，女人对这方面的期待也不高。（注23 韩启澜与贺萧（Emily Honing & Gail Hershatter）著,《Personal Voices: Chinese Women in the 1980's》：p181-186；Kristof，《穿过钥匙孔窥视新中国 》） (查看原文)
