It was really interesting to learn about the terracotta warriors last night, but today in class we talked about the terracotta daughters, which might be my new favorite thing. Prune Nourry is doing this wonderful project of making the terracotta warriors into girls!!! I absolutely love this, I think it's really important to emphasize the importance of women in China because they used to be so unwanted. People would give up girl babies for adoption or even kill them, which is crazy to me because women are an integral party of society. I mean there are way more men in china than women because of all that and I think it's really wonderful that she is bringing light to this with the terracotta daughters.
