This book explores the impact of social transformation since the late Qing Dynasty and the women's liberation movement on ancient women's self-cultivation, and looks for the connection between modern female writers and traditional female culture. The two concepts of "female work-study culture" and "female cultural conservatism" are proposed to analyze the different situations of gender and morality in traditional and modern societies. While reflecting on history, we question practical issues and make our own evaluations of some important research methods in academia.

This book combines the women's liberation movement with the spirit of literature, trying to be as close to the historical reality as possible and explore the difficult path that Chinese women have traveled. The book has eight chapters in total, combing through traditional Chinese ethics and culture over a long period of time, analyzing the living conditions of traditional Chinese women and their emotional forms, and revealing the ideological origin of their suppressed living conditions.
