Research question:
How can we keep Nushu alive among younger generations among Chinese women?
Nushu is a variety of language invented thousands of years ago by women who were not allowed to be educated in order to communicate with each other.
After interviewing and researching women from different fields and learning about the original Nushu, my project aims to use Nushu, a women only language as a tool to create a women’s space for contemporary Chinese women to communicate with each other and express their emotions.
This is not only physical, but also an invisible network connecting women in various fields. The social network built by women’s groups can enhance our voice in society, amplify small voices, and make more people aware of women’s rights.
