Fiction by Lisa See
This is the story of Tan Yunxian, a real Chinese lady in the fifteenth century who studied women's medicine and wrote a book about her treatments. It's amazing to think of someone (a female!) that long ago working successfully in medicine.
As is usual for this author, the ancient characters come to life for the reader as the story unfolds. It's a good book!
I also read recently by this author: This Island of Sea Women
