Abstract
This essay focuses on Chinese women from north-western china (the Chinese part of the Silk Road) under the tang dynasty (618-907). It describes the main outlines of their everyday life, and study more closely the impact of the Silk Road - and its related cultural interactions - on their lives. In this respect, the tang dynasty is the most interesting period because trade and cultural interactions were at its pinnacle. Thus, I will try to determine to what extent the reign of the traditional, Confucian frame defining women's role was subdued by the influence of foreign cultures
