Ban Zhao: Han China's First Female Historian and Scholar
When Ban Zhao completed her brother Ban Gu's monumental 'Book of Han' (Hanshu) after his death, she became China's first female historian. But her influence went far beyond history—her 'Admonitions for Women' (Nüjie) shaped Confucian gender roles for two millennia. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Ban Zhao's life in the Eastern Han court, her role as tutor to Empress Deng Sui, the controversies around her writings, and how her work reflected the era's tensions between Confucian orthodoxy and women's agency. Discover the woman who mastered the classics, defended tradition, and left an indelible mark on Chinese civilization.
