The story behind the character
她
This character is startlingly young. 她 was invented in 1918 by Liu Bannong. Before that, Chinese had one third-person pronoun, 他, for everyone. Liu coined 她 for women specifically, and it started an argument. Some people called it a pointless invention. So 她 is a character barely a hundred years old, younger than your great-grandparents.
