Person, materials, and method
Scholarship in context.
Patricia Buckley Ebrey studies the Song period, family history, women's history, marriage, the court, and art history. A major contribution of her work has been to bring family relations, women's lives, ritual, visual evidence, and everyday practices, long obscured by political history, into the center of Chinese historical inquiry.
Her research on women and marriage in the Song shows that institutions, property, kinship, and gender norms must be examined together. Social life cannot be inferred from Confucian classics alone.
