中国传统法律文化是在中国独特的地理环境和历史背景下长期积淀而成的，因而与西方的法律文化有着非常显著的差异。这其中，中国古代与妇女相关的法律作为中国传统法律文化的组成部分，成为了引人注目的重要方面。在中国法制史上，唐律的内容承前启后，一直被认为是中华法系的代表作，占据着非常重要的地位，而“依礼制律，礼法合一”正是唐律的一个重要特点。在这样的礼法背景下，唐代妇女地位问题的研究自然成为了可以深入探索的一个方向。近年来，关于唐代妇女地位问题的研究的确取得了令人注目的成果，这其中，有从古代女性总体的社会面貌进行论述的，也有单独从某一角度对古代女性的地位问题进行切入的。但是，在礼法秩序这一大背景下对妇女地位进行研究的并不多见。这就需要我们以史料为背景，以律法为依据，在前人已有的研究成果的基础上，从多个角度更全面、深入的对唐代妇女的法律地位进行解读，更好的扩展唐代妇女地位研究的领域与角度。这能很好的帮助我们公正客观地研究古代妇女地位。 本文通过多种研究方法的综合运用，以及多种文献资料的理论支持，使论文不再局限于某一个单一的层次，而是试图利用更多的关于唐代的史料，如文学资料、考古资料等进行侧面的补充，以求在律令规制下和实际社会生活中这两个角度对唐代妇女的法律地位进行全方位、多层次的解读，从而得出全面、客观的结论。 本文主体大致分为四个部分，第一部分对唐代妇女法律地位进行总体的概述，试图让大家了解在中国古代历史上一直处于卑下地位的妇女在盛世唐代有着怎样的地位，是否与其他朝代有所不同；第二部分详细介绍唐代妇女在法律规制下的地位，即唐律针对妇女有着哪些相关的法律条文，这部分主要通过一个唐代女性在不同时期所具备的不同身份进行分析，包括“在室女”、“出嫁女”、寡母以及一些特殊身份的女性；第三部分介绍唐代妇女地位在实际社会生活中所呈现出来的具体状况，在这一部分，不再针对一个女性，而是针对整个女性群体，对不同阶层的女性地位进行解读，包括皇室公主、贵族妇女、平民劳动妇女以及其他阶层的妇女；第四部分主要分析唐代妇女法律地位的成因，试图从礼法秩序着手，结合礼教与律令对妇女的双重规制，从意识形态、政治、经济、文化教育、特殊的民族融合历史背景等方面论述唐代在法律规制下和实际情况下妇女地位形成的原因。
