Lady Tan’s Circle of Women
Join us for a discussion of Lisa See’s Lady Tan’s Circle of Women, a captivating historical novel set in 15th-century China.
The story follows Tan Yunxian, a young woman who is determined to become a physician despite the strict limitations placed on women of her time. Raised by her grandmother, a respected healer, Yunxian learns the traditional practices of Chinese medicine while navigating the expectations placed upon women in Ming Dynasty society. Her journey brings her into the lives of women from very different backgrounds and highlights the powerful bonds of friendship, family, and community.
As we discuss the book, we will explore themes of women’s health and independence, friendship, family traditions, social class, medicine, and the strength women find in one another. The novel offers a fascinating look at a time and culture where women’s voices were often restricted, yet their knowledge and influence were essential.
Come ready to share your thoughts, favorite characters, and impressions of Yunxian’s journey. Most importantly, join us for a lively conversation about this beautifully written story and the remarkable circle of women at its heart.
