Nushu Script Conservation:
Nushu, a 400-year-old “women’s script” from Jiangyong, Hunan province, is witnessing a revival among Gen Z Chinese women, who see it as a cultural symbol of sisterhood and empowerment.Nüshu is a 17th-century phonetic script created by women in Jiangyong, China, as a private communication system when they were excluded from formal education. It uses slender, curved, leaf-shaped characters tied to the local dialect. Traditionally passed between women through letters, songs, and embroidery, it symbolises resilience and sisterhood.
