摘要

This paper is to introduce a book titled Teachers of the Inner Chambers: Women and Culture in Seventeenth‐Century China, which provides its readers with a new insight into women of that time. After reading, one may find that he or she has a totally different understanding of the seventeenth‐century Chinese women. Feudal Chinese women, as are depicted in History textbook or some works of literature, were oppressed and restricted only to the family; but this book by Dorothy offers an opportunity to renew the impression of those women. The paper will mainly focus on two parts of the book: one is the image of feudal women; the other is the concept of companionate marriage.
