For centuries banned from reading and writing, women in the Chinese province of Jiangyong eventually developed their own secret writing system.
Living under the control of men — in arranged and violent marriages — they created the Nu Shu, which means “feminine writing”, in order to communicate and help each other through poems, narratives and songs, sometimes embroidered in cloths. Based on traditional Chinese, the characters were changed to take on new meanings and were delicately drawn. The vocabulary was taken from a local dialect. Today, few women are able to read and write Nu Shu, but the government has already committed to allocating resources to a museum and the creation of a dictionary as a way to preserve the writing.
