The biography explores the lives of two rival Chinese sisters navigating their quest for independence amidst social upheaval. As modern girls, they challenged traditional gender roles during a time of significant change, reflecting the evolving dynamics between men and women. Raised by an imperial scholar-official and a concubine, their professional journeys diverged dramatically from the expectations of their parents' generation, highlighting the impact of societal transformations on individual aspirations.
