Women in Traditional China is an article on the AsiaSociety.Org website. It is an interesting article that gives a brief overview on women and their roles in traditional China. It covers women from Shang and Zhou Dynasties down to the Qing Dynasty. It discusses how women operated in a patrilineal society and the impact Confucian ideas and teachings had on the role of women.
The article is a great starting point to give students a brief overview of women. It could lead to several other discussions and further research into women's roles. This is an article I will have my students read to introduce this topic.
Since this is just a single page of a bigger website, there are obviously links to a myriad of different articles, resources, and information. AsiaSociety.Org (the main website) is a valuable resource for any educator looking for materials to include in a lesson.
