"Allure" is a series of essays about history, culture and women. The 30 women written in this book are all the women who have been told and recorded the most in Chinese history. Because there are so many, stories about them are piled up like a "stack of arrows" so that their true colors cannot be seen clearly. For this purpose, the author of this book, Gao Xiaochun, uses the rigor of a historian and the literary talent of a writer to describe portraits of these 30 important women, allowing readers to more closely perceive the era in which they lived and the flower of life that they blossomed as women in the patriarchal era at that time.
Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of women in Chinese history. With the rigor of a historian and the literary grace of a writer, the author demonstrates their tenacity and wisdom in the patriarchal era. Especially the description of Queen Lu in the book, "Queen Lu is by no means an ordinary woman. Her political skills and decisive decision-making are amazing." This reminds me of those strong women in modern society. They work hard in the workplace and are not inferior to men. I admire them very much. This book is well worth reading!
The writing is pretty good and I learned a lot about history.
It expanded my knowledge and I was filled with emotions about the experiences described in the book.
Okay, very nice
It can expand some literary history, but it is still very attractive and not bad.
