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.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
