Mon Mar. 27 at 10PM on WKAR-HD 23.1 & STREAMING | Modern women in China keep alive the tradition of Nüshu, a secret written language.

The bonds of sisterhood, and the parallels of struggles among generations of women in China, are drawn together by the once-secret written language of Nushu, the only script designed and used exclusively by women.

This special is available to watch live during its airdate on the WKAR Livestream.

Every WKAR News story you read is rooted in fact-based, local journalism, produced without commercial influence and available for free to everyone in mid-Michigan. No paywalls. Ever.
