The economic achievement of imperial China reached its peak in the Ming-Qing period (1368-1912). While the Ming-Qing period has captured much scholarly attention, previous works on Ming-Qing socio-economic history mainly focused on the population growth, the development of the taxation system, and a variety of commercial issues. However, women were often neglected or regarded as objects of subordination. Is it true that Ming- Qing women had little importance and contribution to the economy? If we re-examine this significant period by shedding gender perspectives, how will the history of Ming-Qing economy look different? This article attempts to place women into the historical picture as active agents and trace their substantial participation in various economic activities by focusing on four main aspects: agricultural history, textile history, commercial history, and consumption history. Making use of different sources to rediscover women's active engagement in many economic activities, the author examines the extent to which women’s participation has been overlooked in previous narrations, and calls for a revision of Ming-Qing socio-economic history by the integration of gender perspectives.
