The book for November was written by one of our favorite authors Lisa See. The title of the book is "Lady Tan's Circle of Women".
"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.
A captivating story of women helping each other, Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is
a triumphant reimagining of the life of one person who was remarkable
in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today."
A big thank you to Donna who arranged for a great venue to discuss this book which was well received by everyone.
