Educated women were often discouraged from visiting Buddhist temples and making friends with Buddhist nuns, since this would mean breaking the rules of female propriety by leaving the inner quarters. Women did not, however, always follow the rules. Dr. Grant has published several major studies on the lives of educated women in premodern China.
