- Katherine Carlitz argues that the long-standing ideal of widow-fidelity gained in ideological power between the late twelfth to the late fifteenth century, emerging as a prominent social practice in mid-Ming China. By drawing on evidence from the Yangtze delta region of Jiangnan, she locates the rise of the cult of faithful widows in the late fifteenth century and correlates its institutionalization with the consolidation of the Ming bureaucracy and the growth of localism in the same period. Her account of the cult also aims to elucidate generally the cultural and social history of Ming China.
