This book reminded me how women’s health is so different from the health of men. The miracle of making a human in your body and the trauma of birthing it is still a wonder in 2023. The thirst to give palliative care to other women and the gift of female friendship is explored in an ancient culture, but has parallels in the present day as well. The treatment of women produces some women who become male identifying and use their power to perpetuate the mistreatment of women in society. Lady Tan is an inspiring female hero who successfully and positively impacts our understanding of the female in society.
