Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See
4.25
This book not only entertained me, but also taught me a great deal about traditional Chinese medicine. Inspired by the life of Tan Yunxian, a 15th-century Chinese woman doctor, Lady Tan's Circle of Women is a lasting intellectual and emotional impression.

Driven by her mother's early death and trained under her grandmother, a medical practitioner, Tan's intelligence and training made her an indispensable woman doctor.
