Lady Tan's Circle of Women [Large Print]

By Lisa See

Book Overview

According to Confucius, "an educated woman is a worthless woman," but Tan Yunxian -- born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness -- is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations -- looking, listening, touching, and asking -- something a man can never do with a female patient.

Not her best work

This book was slow. I felt it lacked depth compared to her other books I have read.

Stressed the importance of female relationships!

honestly, such a lovely book. Not only am I super intrigued into looking into holistic Chinese medicine, but I’m also loving how this book stressed the importance of female friendships and relationships. Women really hold it DOWN

I love the book!

I liked it, it was greatly done, my mindset was changed towards how I see feminism in this society.
