Abstract—During the Qing Dynasty, the development of woodblock printing made reading and publishing more convenient. Coupled with the development of noble families and relatively open-minded contemporary thoughts, women, who had previously been excluded from the literary field, began to acquire knowledge, create works, and publish collections. In the era when prefaces and postscripts were highly valued, boudoir writers also began to widely solicit prefaces and postscripts, forming a unique ecosystem of boudoir literature.
Keywords—historical background, female reading, female publishing, preface culture
