As the book reveals, the date of its origin is under dispute. However, like Korean and Japanese writing systems, n shu has a close connection to women since writing with Chinese characters was traditionally tied to patriarchal privilege. Women extrapolated new graphs from conventional Chinese characters, using them to record various aspects of their emotional lives. It ws a script created by women, for heartfelt communication between women. This is an unusually personal book, authored by Endo Orie-a well-known Japanese linguist with many books on gender and language. She stumbled upon the n shu writing system while hiking in Hunan in the 1990s. Here she introduces narrating its discovery and mourning the way its original intimacies are fading away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4799494\"\u003eHideko Abe\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12831455\"\u003eOrie Endo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781986828833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1986828832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS008000\"\u003eAsia | China\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44540594815213,"sku":"9781986828833","price":43.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_eb9195ff-8ae8-439f-be88-f5d898455e1e.jpg?v=1701490989","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/inscribing-intimacy-the-fading-writing-tradition-of-nushu","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
