If I’m not wrong, hiragana originates from the 草書 (cursive script) of Chinese calligraphy. Hiragana was initially popular among Japanese women; so it’s also known as 女手 (onnade) in Japanese, which is different from 女書 (nüshu or nvshu) of China...pic.twitter.com/eGOcR1PuQ8

Wasn't implying hiragana came from 女書. The time periods are completely different. Just that hiragana also originated as a female-specific script
