Portrait of two women : multiple layers of "Confucianism" in late Chosŏn Korea / The life of the exemplar wife Lady Chang of Andong : examined in a historical context / Confucian educational works for upper status women in Chosŏn Korea / Neo-Confucianism as free-floating resource : Im Yunjidang and Kang Chongildang as two female neo-Confucian philosophers in late Chosŏn / The rights of the eldest daughter-in-law and strengthening of adoption of lineage heirs in the mid-Chosŏn period / Questions concerning widows' social status and remarriage in late Chosŏn / Devalued bodies, revalued status : Confucianism and the plight of female slaves in late Chosŏn Korea / Youngmin Kim -- Lee Soongu -- Michael J. Pettid -- Youngmin Kim -- Lee Soongu -- Jung Ji-Young -- Milan Hejtmanek.
This volume offers a fresh, multifaceted exploration of women and Confucianism in mid- to late-Chosoán Korea (mid-sixteenth to early twentieth century). Using primary sources and perspectives from social history, intellectual history, literature, and political thought, contributors challenge unitary views of Confucianism as a system of thought, of women as a group, and of the relationship between the two.Much earlier scholarship has focused on how women were oppressed under the strict patriarchal systems that emerged as Confucianism became the dominant social ideology during the Chosoán dynasty (1392-1910). Contributors to this volume bring to light the varied ways that diverse women actually lived during this era, from elite yangban women to women who were enslaved. Women are shown to have used various strategies to seek status, economic rights, and more comfortable spaces, with some women even emerging as Confucian intellectuals and exemplars.
