This dissertation investigates and interprets Chinese women's space during the Song dynasty (960-1279), a period that has sometimes been seen as a dark age for Chinese women owing to the emergence of Neo-Confucianism. I seek to complicate this picture by investigating women's roles in gender construction. By "women's space" I mean a constructed and mutable sphere in which women from all social classes experienced their life courses, became socialized, followed or negotiated norms of womanhood (or sometimes simply disregarded them), and transmitted women's culture generation after generation.

520 $a This dissertation investigates and interprets Chinese women's space during the Song dynasty (960-1279), a period that has sometimes been seen as a dark age for Chinese women owing to the emergence of Neo-Confucianism. I seek to complicate this picture by investigating women's roles in gender construction. By "women's space" I mean a constructed and mutable sphere in which women from all social classes experienced their life courses, became socialized, followed or negotiated norms of womanhood (or sometimes simply disregarded them), and transmitted women's culture generation after generation.
520 $a My dissertation starts with the interpretation of women's legitimate living place the jia (family; home; house). The exploration of house structures and relevant accessories demonstrates how Song women negotiated between inner and outer, endowed private architectures with gendered meanings and public values, while at the same time showcased their dominance in and commitment to the jia. In the open sphere outside the jia, 1 trace female sojourners' images on the road, and thus reveal their movement and mobility, modes of transportation and redefinition of inner/outer boundary. Furthermore, I also investigate other structured spaces that women encountered---the local government and community. In these domains, women performed their agency through their diversified interactions with local administrative authority as well as their recognition of, participation in and contribution to the construction of local community. In the last part, I analyze women's tombs and burial practices to examine the connections between women's place on earth and in the afterlife. The exhaustive case studies of tomb structures, accessories, and murals in Song Fujian suggest that women's place in the afterlife is not a reflection of the hierarchies on earth but a new construction. In sum, the dissertation shows that women from various classes in Song Fujian established their legitimacy inside the jia on the one hand, while exercised their agency in the outside sphere on the other hand. The boundaries between inner and outer were subordinated to women's manipulation of places and objects, and thus characterized by negotiability and flexibility.
