《雪花與祕扇》作者Lisa See再次寫下亞裔女子的傳奇故事!
內容簡介
故事改編自歷史上真實存在的明朝女物理學家/女醫生─譚允賢的故事,刻劃在中國保守的封建社會下,女性追求自我存在的身影。
譚允賢出生富裕家庭,但她身為女性,從小被教育應該遵守婦道,乖乖出嫁。她被迫綁小腳,習慣整天都有僕人隨侍在側,被迫接受女人就要包容男人有大老婆、二老婆和數不清的姨太太,彷彿她存在的意義就是要美麗與多產,為夫家生兒子。
只有允賢的祖母不同。祖母是當時少數的女性醫生,從小就教導她醫藥的各種知識,於是她熟讀各種關於中醫的知識與醫療方法,並了解對女性而言,最危險的莫過於分娩、流產和墮胎。
祖母說,醫生旁邊的助產師非常重要─因為醫生不允許碰女性病患和她們的血,而當她和助產師的女兒梅琳相見後,兩人立刻成為交心的好友,她們分享知識學問,也讓允賢更加確立自己的志向。當家人安排的婚事上門,允賢面對與好友的分別感到難過,同時,她也從未放棄成為醫生的目標。
當時的醫生多是男性,婦女疾病時常被誤診導致死亡,譚允賢在一次次與諸多女性病患接觸的過程裡,發現女性的力量與可能性,也讓她在醫界找到自己的路。
The latest historical novel from New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, inspired by the true story of a woman physician from 15th-century China—perfect for fans of See’s classic Snowflower and the Secret Fan and The Island of Sea Women.
According to Confucius, “an educated woman is a worthless woman,” but Tan Yunxian—born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness—is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations—looking, listening, touching, and asking—something a man can never do with a female patient.
From a young age, Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose—despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it—and they vow to be forever friends, sharing in each other’s joys and struggles. No mud, no lotus, they tell themselves: from adversity beauty can bloom.
But when Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage, her mother-in-law forbids her from seeing Meiling and from helping the women and girls in the household. Yunxian is to act like a proper wife—embroider bound-foot slippers, pluck instruments, recite poetry, give birth to sons, and stay forever within the walls of the family compound, the Garden of Fragrant Delights.
How might a woman like Yunxian break free of these traditions, 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? Lady Tan’s Circle of Women 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.
