[ send
me this paper ]
Nationalism, or what Westerners tend to define as communism, effects not only
the economic and political aspects of a culture, but also, the social evolution
by restricting and, or, discouraging independent ideas and innovative processes.
This 8 page paper argues that the transition to communism in China was a
political and idealistic process that had little or no room and, or, inclination
for advocating the rights of women, even though the basic tenets of communism,
as presented by Karl Marx, is the value of the human 'capital'. Bibliography

The Idea of Womanhood in Traditional
Chinese Society
[ send
me this paper ]
Since as early as the 7th century B.C., women in China have been permitted to
hold positions of power and even lead in prominent positions as national
figureheads. Unfortunately, no level of leadership, education or social
prominence for women could change the patriarchal nature of traditional Chinese
society. From the early Han Dynasty to the last of the Chinese dynasties, the
Ch'ing Dynasty (17th-early 20th centuries) women have played significant and
defining roles in the political structure of China, though these roles have been
defined by the death of their husbands and their circumstances rather than by
the social acceptability of female leaders in Chinese society. This 5 page paper
reflects the lives of a number of prominent women in Chinese history, including
Ban Zhao of the Han dynasty, Song Ruoxin of the Tang, Empress Wu Zeitan of the
Zhou Dynasty, and Tzu-Hsi, dowager Empress of the Ch'ing Dynasty and defines the
impact of the patriarchal definitions in determining their impact on history.
