Lady Tan’s Circle Of Women by Lisa See
In 15th century China two women are born under the same sign, the Metal Snake.
But life will take the friends on very different paths. According to Confucius,
‘an educated woman is a worthless woman’, but Tan Yunxian - born into an
elite family, yet haunted by death, separation and loneliness - is being raised
by her grandparents to be of use. She begins her training in medicine with her
grandmother and, as she navigates the male world of medicine, requiring tact and
diplomacy, she struggles against the confining world of her class. From a young
age, Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing,
alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. How might a woman like Yunxian
break free of tradition, go on to treat women and girls from every level of society,
and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five
centuries later? How might the power of friendship support or complicate these
efforts? This is a captivating story of women helping other women. It is also a
triumphant reimagining of the life of a woman who was remarkable in the Ming
dynasty and would be considered remarkable today.
One of Them by Shaneel Lal
What would you do if you were told by the people you loved the most that the way
you were born was evil and wrong? For Shaneel Lal, this was their reality from the
time they were five. Growing up in a tiny, traditional village in Fiji, Shaneel always
knew they were different. Still, for the first years of their life, it was idyllic - playing
dress-ups in saris with their sister, and hiding under their neighbour’s house,
playing games with dolls. But from the time Shaneel started school, they faced
condemnation from their family, and then ‘therapy’ from conservative elders in
their village. The elders tried to ‘free’ Shaneel from the evil spirits they thought were
making them queer. Shaneel was kept away from the girls to stop Shaneel from
becoming more feminine, and from the boys to stop Shaneel’s queerness from
spreading to them. Eventually the ‘therapy’ escalated to beatings and torture. After
escaping Fiji and moving to New Zealand as a teenager, Shaneel tried to keep their
sexuality - and gender - to themself, but gradually found the courage to come out.
This is a story of one person’s fight for the right to live their life as they deserved -
and their extraordinary work to protect other young New Zealanders.
