As I read the Article of The Oral and Ritual Culture of Chinese Women specifically the Bridal Lamentations of Nanhui I was shocked because they said women were only allowed to express themselves two times in their life. One was during their marriage rituals; they were allowed to express themselves. Normally they were expected to keep up their home. This is shocking to me because today women in the United States can express themselves whenever they want. For a culture to withhold women’s rights is shocking to me. I believe that women should be allowed to participate in all rituals in life not just during their wedding night.
