Excerpt from Typical Women of China: Abridged From the Chinese Work "Records of Virtuous Women of Ancient and Modern Times" Whilst the anecdotes and reflections must often seem very insipid to our Western tastes, they take us into the homes of women of all ranks, and reveal much there that is curious and interesting. The translation doubtless has many defects. It makes no pretensions to being the work of a critical scholar. It is an honest effort to convey the real meaning of the original, translating rather in accordance with the sense than precisely in harmony with the letter, and often paraphrasing the sentences and taking some license in expanding the sententious brevity of the Wen - li, in order to bring out the meaning more fully.
