About This Book

This path-breaking book examines the broad cultural, social, and gender meanings of the 'faithful maiden' cult in late imperial China (1368-1911). These 'faithful maidens' chose either to live out their lives as widows upon the death of a fiancé or killed themselves to join their fiancé in death.
