在中国古代社会中，传统妇女观的主要内容是三从四德、男尊女卑、恪守贞节。这些封建腐朽的思想成为了两千多年来不断压迫、束缚妇女的工具。传统的妇女观在先秦及秦汉时期便开始形成和发展起来。但到了明清两代，传统妇女观对妇女们身心的钳制和束缚越演越烈。明清政府不仅通过法律法规来约束限制妇女的行为和思想，而且还通过物质的诱惑，来进一步强化男尊女卑、三从四德的观念。这样通过各种手段使得传统的妇女观念更加的深入人心。而另一方面，商品经济迅速发展，让人们的生活和思想都发生了极大地变化，不管是社会还是人们的思想都变得开放起来，涌现了大批著名的思想家对传统妇女观展开猛烈的抨击和反抗。而且妇女的意识也开始觉醒，女性开始追求自身的权利，如提倡男女平等、婚恋自由，禁止缠足及对自己才能的重视等方面。由于这三种权力是当时人们最为向往和重视的，所以笔者主要针对这三种权利作详细论述，本文即从明清时期出现反传统观念的社会背景、优秀学者针对寡妇再嫁问题的探讨及对一些传统的妇女观的批判、女性对自身才能、权利的追求和对出现这一现象的评价等方面进行探索。
