Abstract

The Westerner's view of Chinese culture is one that is filled with images of the submissive woman. Chinese society is predicated on a purely patriarchal system in which the needs of men remain the principle concern and focus of Chinese society. While it is indeed evident that this type of society has made it difficult for Chinese women to assert their authority and power, a close examination of women from this culture seems to suggest that Chinese women have been able to asset themselves in more subtle ways. While these methods of assertion are not widely viewed as threatening to the cultural status quo that has been developed in china, it is evident that women have been able to carve out a unique niche for themselves using the basic context of patriarchal society that is essential to Chinese culture. With the realization that women in Chinese culture have had to find more subtle methods for expressing themselves in such a highly patriarchal system, there is a clear impetus to examine how women have developed in the context of Chinese society.
