520    "Women's tanci, or "plucking rhymes," are chantefable 
       narratives written by upper-class educated women from 
       seventeenth-century to early twentieth-century China. 
       Writing Gender in Early Modern Chinese Women's Tanci 
       Fiction offers a timely study on early modern Chinese 
       women's representations of gender, nation, and political 
       activism in their tanci works before and after the Taiping
       Rebellion (1850 to 1864), as well as their depictions of 
       warfare and social unrest. Women tanci authors' 
       redefinition of female exemplarity within the Confucian 
       orthodox discourses of virtue, talent, chastity, and 
       political integrity could be bourgeoning expressions of 
       female exceptionalism and could have foreshadowed 
       protofeminist ideals of heroism. They establish a 
       realistic tenor in affirming feminine domestic authority, 
       and open up spaces for discussions of "womanly becoming," 
       female exceptionalism, and shifting family power 
       structures. The vernacular mode underlying these texts 
       yields productive possibilities of gendered self-
       representations, bodily valences, and dynamic performances
       of sexual roles. The result is a vernacular discursive 
       frame that enables women's appropriation and refashioning 
       of orthodox moral values as means of self-affirmation and 
       self-realization. Validations of women's political 
       activism and loyalism to the nation attest to tanci as a 
       premium vehicle for disseminating progressive social 
       incentives to popular audiences. Women's tanci marks early
       modern writers' endeavors to carve out a space of feminine
       becoming, a discursive arena of feminine appropriation, 
       reinvention, and boundary-crossings. In this light, 
       women's tanci portrays gendered mobility through 
       depictions of a heroine's voyages or social ascent, and 
       entails a forward-moving historical progression toward a 
       more autonomous and vested model of feminine subjectivity"
