HIS 374 - Bound Feet and Dragon Ladies: Women & Power in East AsiaThree Credits
Fall Semester
This course challenges western conceptions of Chinese and Japanese women as unwanted daughters, submissive wives, and exotic geishas. We explore this complex history by studying women’s oppression and agency, their evolving socio-political roles, and the construction of gender ideals - male and female - through close examination of popular culture, film, art, and literature.
Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): Sophomore Standing and above.
Course Applies to: Anthropology, Asian Studies, Gender & Sexuality Studies
Note: Considered a World History.
