Edited by Weird History Facts, Monday, 1 Apr 2024, 13:03

Nushu, initially denoted as "woman's writing," was born from keen observations of male family members practicing calligraphy. Women, deprived of formal education, taught themselves to write by memorizing and adapting characters they witnessed. Through this ingenious process, they developed a distinct language, Nushu, as a means of empowerment and connection among themselves.
