Publisher's Synopsis

Endo Orie's book is about nüshu, a unique form of writing that appeared in rural China in the modern era. As it reveals, the date of its origin is under dispute. However, like Korean and Japanese writing systems, nüshu has a close connection to women since writing with Chinese characters was traditionally tied to patriarchal privilege.
