Abstract
从先秦，经汉初，至东汉，中国的文化****惯於把女子训练成为柔弱、贞静的形象。到了魏晋，由於受曹操「唯才是用」的用人思想，轻礼崇玄及门第制度等原因的影响，使大家逐步重视自我，重新思索人的价值和意义。在时代思潮往凸显自我个性，争取自我权益开展之际，世家大族的妇女也逐步地自觉到礼法的不合理，加上门第可恃，所以，她们比较敢於表现自我意识。尤其是在门第制度的保护下，使得她们的社会地位随著大幅提升。由於士族妇女的社会地位尚且必需仗著门第制度才能提升，出身於寒门的妾，及其它种种的妾、***、婢，她们的社会地位的卑微就可想而知了。其中，李络秀是唯一的例外，只有她看清楚问题的根源，并知道处理问题的合理且可行的措施，所以透过和士族连姻，完成提升自己及家族的社会地位的心愿。
