I know. I'm way behind with your emails. I really enjoyed your post on lighthouses. I absolutely agree on the mystery they inspire. Reading about Hidden Letters, the film, I felt disgusted by the statement of the former manager of the Nushu Museum who clearly thinks that a 'good society' is one stuck in the past and which favors male needs. He says 'few women embody those values nowadays'. Good for them as we are in the 21st century after all.
Thanks Diana. It was very interesting to see how differently the women participating in Hidden Letters felt about the meaning and role of the Nushu language. I sincerely hope they are able to keep it alive as a way of inspiring and empowering young women in the future.
