Question

"Uterine family" is the phrase Margery Wolf uses to describe the family a woman makes by having children though they are not officially recognized as members of the same lineage.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer: b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Wolf (1994, 226), "the true family of a woman in the Chinese kinship system includes her uterine family, which includes the mother of the woman and the children of her mother."

In her book, Wolf tries to explain the advantages of having uterine families in the Chinese system of kinship, explaining that both the uterine family of the maternal parent of a woman and her individual uterine relationships are produced through child delivery, becoming crucial factors that contribute to the fulfillment of a woman in her life.
