More about the book

Set against the backdrop of traditional expectations for women in China, the narrative follows Rooster, Shadow, and Mei Ju as they forge a deep friendship in a girls' house. Rejecting the roles of wives or nuns, they embrace their independence through embroidery and silk production. Despite facing ostracism, violence, and hardship, these self-combers carve out their own paths, showcasing resilience and empowerment. The Moon Pearl presents a compelling true story that highlights the strength and determination of women seeking autonomy in a restrictive society.
