In these modern times, literacy is something that we would take for granted, and for (almost) everyone across the globe. All along human history, writing systems play an essential role to its evolution. The knowledge of writing and reading is something that we imagine accessible to all in a utopic world, with no barriers, bringing societies further and better… But obviously and unfortunately, it hasn’t been this way. There must have been solutions through the ages, around the world, created and developed out of a practical need, but very few of them come to the general knowledge, reach our times, or are under the spotlight. Until very recently though, this happened to one of them, on its almost-extinct moment: Nüshu writing system. It is a one of its kind example of a solution brought to life by self-educated people when academic education were not allowed to them because of both social an gender separation. This script’s existence demonstrates a solution to bypass a barrier with peace, and transform it into a way to elevate the users on their own with no foreign help or influence.
