Description

Grannies, geishas, warriors, mystics, recluses and predators - these are the dangerous women of traditional China. Through her exploration of the myth and history of the Ming, Victoria Cass seeks to bring their world to life. In a culture that is resoundingly patriarchal, these women are a vivid counterpoint. Violating state-sponsored orthodoxies, the granny mocks and mimics, the geisha charms with her intellect, the warrior rules in icy superiority. Using interpreted resources, the author leads us into this surprising world, complementing her text with colour and black-and-white illustrations of the art of the period.
