The Healing Circle: Women's Medicine in Ming Dynasty China
In 1511 China, a revolutionary medical text emerged from the inner chambers where women were confined. Lady Tan's "Miscellaneous Records of a Female Doctor" documented thirty-one cases focused exclusively on women's health-conditions male physicians often misunderstood or ignored. This remarkable achievement began with eight-year-old Yunxian watching her mother die from an infected bound foot, a tragedy that planted the seeds of her medical calling. "To live is to suffer," her mother whispered before passing-words that would shape Yunxian's destiny as she embarked on a journey from grieving child to renowned physician in a world that rarely acknowledged women's wisdom.
