Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See

I’ve literally never read anything like this. I feel like it captures such a cool part of history, if told from a fictional perspective. I think the idea of historic women’s health so so fascinating. I do love the dual perspectives on womanhood in ancient china as well, through this friendship I feel e encapsulates  womanhood so beautifully. I’m not familiar enough with Chinese language or culture to know its accuracy, but it felt like I was almost reading a translation. Beautiful if also brutally honest about historic womanhood.
