The Multi-Varied Images of Women in Classical Chinese Literature

Join us to take a look at the wide range of portrayals of women from devoted wives to shrews, from beleaguered victims to tiger mothers, and of course, including the heroine warrior Mulan. Chinese patriarchy was real but Chinese women often found ways to subvert it in lively and humorous ways.
