East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoI also support the idea of women’s presence and writing in the premodern canon. How about something like “women, agency, and literary production (“literary arts” if you think about music, drama, etc.) in premodern East Asia”???
