There is evidence that cannabis extracts were used by the Chinese as a herbal remedy since the first century AD. Cannabis comes from the flowering tops and leaves of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa (shown in the picture on the right).

This is the first time that Kingston explicitly tells which additions to the story are her own.
Even women, who were always viewed inferior to men, would be more fortunate if they were an aristocrat. In Western Europe, women could have power if they were upper-class aristocrats, monarchs, or members of the royal family. In China, women of upper classes would get their feet bound, which would deepen their reliance on men. Additionally, for both China and Western Europe a patriarchal society was at large.
