241: Lady Tan's Circle of Women, with friend of show Aris!

March 9th, 2026

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Lady Tan's Circle of Women, with friend of show Aris!

ACOFAE welcomes back to the podcast friend of show, Aris, to discuss Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See. Celebrating International Women's Day (and month), Aris got to choose the book for this episode and what a choice she made! Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and Aris are discussing all things plot related, with a focus on the friendships between the main character and the people in her orbit. Tan Yunxian is a female doctor in 15th century China and her story is one that is inspiring and educational. Set during a time when women bound their feet, gender inequality reigned, and Blood and blood are two different things, Lady Tan and her story are ripe for discussion and compassion. Celebrating women everyday, but especially now, ACOFAE and Aris are shining a light on women's fiction, women's stories, and women's lives.
