宗法制度与女性命运的历史考察

A Historical Review of Women’s Fate in Patriarchal Society

历史上女性的命运总是与一定的社会形态相联系的。在宗法社会中,为了维护父权制宗法秩序,宗法制度坚决排斥女性在宗族中的任何权利,并在理论、经济、伦理道德、婚姻、政治等诸多方面形成了一整套对女性的控制约束机制,从而导致了女性在宗法社会中卑下的地位和被奴役的命运。

Women’s fate in history is always associated with a certain form of society. In the patriarchal society women are deprived of all rights in order to maintain the patriarchal order. There are a whole set of mechanisms imposing restrictions on women in such aspects as theory, economy, ethic, marriage, and politics, which result in women’s enslaved fate and inferior position in the patriarchal society.
