Abstract:
The aim of research is to explore Chinese women's role from the ancient time till now. Traditionally Chinese women were restrained by many boundaries. There were no sense of "self" in their world. They were taught to depend on their fathers when they were young, devoted to their husbands when they got married and took great care of their children when they became mothers. Their behaviors were strictly demanded by the society: walk without turning, talk without moving lips, sit without moving knees, stand without moving skirts, feel joy without laughing out loud and angry without raising voice. How are those boundaries influencing the Chinese women now?
