Overt and Covert Treasures

This is the first published volume on a variety of sources for Chinese women's history. It is an attempt to explore overt and covert information on Chinese 

women in a vast quantity of textual and non-textual,conventional

and unconventional, source materials. Some chapter re-read

 well-known texts or previously marginalized texts, 

and brainstorm new ways to use and interpret these sources;

others explore new sources or previously overlooked or 

under-used materials. This book is a valuable prodect witnessing 

the concerted effort of twenty some scholars located in 

different parts of the world.
