Martyred Matrons, Martial Maidens, and the Woman Reader: Some Sino-Japanese Comparisons.
Widmer, Ellen
International Journal of Social Education, v6 n1 p60-82 Spr 1991
Discusses the relationship between the prominence of themes of the literate gentry woman in Chinese fiction and the rise of women poets. Examines later Japanese fiction to find influences of the woman reader and of earlier Chinese works. Explores the scholar-beauty novels, women as warriors, female martyrdom, and the equating of virtue with brilliance. (DK)
