【摘要】 本文对明代妇女地位很低的传统观点提出质疑。首先通过对明代妇女政治、经济、法律、受教育状况进行全面考察，得出其地位具有“低中有高”的特点。这表现在政治上，后妃积极参与政事，有较强参政自觉性；经济上，妇女广泛参与农田、蚕桑、纺织等活动，发挥了重要作用，促进其经济地位的提高；法律上，较之以前几个朝代，妇女在定婚、退婚、离婚以及对女犯宽宥上享有较广泛的权利；教育方面，各阶层都有一些具有一定文化和才艺的女性。其次，又针对明代社会中，贞节观盛行和反礼教思潮涌动这一矛盾事物并存现象，分析它们表现形式及产生原因，揭示出明代妇女地位“前降后升”、“前低后高”的特点。本文试图给明代妇女地位一个客观评价，从而对中国古代妇女地位评价问题提供一些借鉴。更多还原
