Bringing to light an ancient folk art that once signaled female status, talent, and virtue across broad areas of China, McLaren (Chinese language and literature, U. of Melbourne) investigates why women felt obliged to lament in village communities in pre-modern China, why the practice was tolerated and even admired and praised, and what women sought to communicate through the rhetoric. She finds a shared cultural framework in which female lamentation made sense and was highly valued. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
