Helen Symonds Book Group - Wednesday, April 3rd at 1:00pm
The group will meet in the Library Program Room to discuss Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See. "Tan Yunxian -- born into an elite family, 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. Sent into an arranged marriage, forbidden to continue her work as a midwife-in-training and ordered to act like a proper wife, Tan seeks a way to continue treating women and girls from every level of society in fifteenth-century China.” - adapted from CWMARS catalog
