The Women of China. This paper is written about women in China. At the beginning of the last century, China was suffering because none of its citizens had anything to contribute to the country. The Chinese society at that time was male dominated. Even though women comprised half the population, they played little part in anything. Their political, economical and social skills were quite limited in many more ways than their male equals. "Women were also oppressed through their relationships with men. Within society, women had few alternatives as to what roles they could play. The main options available were those of the wife, concubine, or prostitute, each role successively less desirable. A wife had no power over her own life; her husband's decisions were her own. She was forced to be completely subservient to her husband's family, kowtowing to them every morning."
