400 years ago, women in China's Hunan province had their feet bound and were confined to their chamber rooms. To find a way to cope, they invented Nushu, a secret language men could not understand.
We speak with director Violet du Feng about Nushu, which is the subject of her new documentary Hidden Letters, and discover how women today are finding inspiration in the language.

Very interesting! I wish they had given more details about how the script relates to traditional script, if it were pictographic or alphabetic and so on.

I am so baffled by the idea that women agreed that men should rule. We are so competent.. as beings... but so eager to comply. Seems to be a design flaw. God???

@Oliver Jazz yes!!!! This is true for now!!! Can we use this as a measure for the past? When gender roles were the fabric of the human kind’s survival? Women where then also not intellectually inferior… to the contrary… Our brains are magnificent! The question is… what is most crucial for the survival of our offspring?Proving that men are stupid or letting them reign? What would be best for our society? Should we let then have their little battles and keep uus and our children safe? Today we have way more choices. But me… I married to a magnificent man…hardworking and loyal. I have 3 amazing children. We have the best family times imaginable. I stay at home cook dinners and fetch my kids from school. ( I also have a masters degree in Speech and Language Pathology and a second degree in Business Management)…. But who cares?

@AnneListen the most successful and happy societies are in fact the most equal. In the evolution of humans women and men are actually more alike now than ever. So smaller differences between sexes has actually been more useful.

🐦🌷🌷🌹 May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
