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.
