Quite a few of books with texts in nüshu have been published when this was a
hot topic, now more than a decade old, under titles such as "Chinese
herstory". Actually, since during their first discovery after the 1949
revolution such nüshu texts were burned out of fear that they were subversive,
almost all extent texts are new and/or due to people newly learning this
script, as much as for tourist than other reasons. Wouldn't expect it to be
encoded soon!
