Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See

3.5

A really interesting look into Chinese medicine from the 15th century. I do think I learned a lot from this book and I'm also really grateful for 21st century medicine. It made me mad and sad for many of the women's experiences, but I do believe that was the point. In the end, these women had each other to lean on and support themselves.
