Familial Properties - Gender, State, and Society in Early Modern Vietnam, 1463-1778

Provides the first full-length history of Vietnamese gender relations in the precolonial period. Nhung Tuyet Tran shows how, despite the bias in law and practice of a patrilineal society based on primogeniture, some women were able to manipulate the system to their own advantage. Rich and detailed in its use of documentary evidence, this work will be of great interest to scholars of Southeast Asian history.
