  1. Nikki- Women had mainly two ways that they had time to themselves and time to escape their every day life. The first way was the Nu Shu writing, which is secreting writing. They would write about the hardships they face, and they would write it on fans (which is a womens secret). Another way how they escaped their every day life, is that they would have a women's room in household, where their selected group of friends would hang out and do things together. It was kinda like a soriority.

  3. EMILY-
    There were a few ways that women were able to escape the harsh conditions of their culture. Nu shu was the secret writing of women and was used to stay in touch with friends and family. This helped provide distraction and escape from the hard labors of everyday. Festivals were also a good way to escaping the everyday pain. Festivals were a time for women to travel to their natal homes and see their families again. While women were treated harshly in society they learned ways around this and ways to enjoy life.
