Female talents graduated from "Gentlewoman" class

Students, from Wuhan Textile University, show off their ceremonial stance on stage after graduating from China's first "Gentlewoman" class in Wuhan, Hubei province on June 12. The class, which started last April, has produced its first batch of graduates. Fifty-five female students, who were believed to have improved as ladies, were offered special courses, including Chinese literary classics, art, etiquette and make-up skills. The controversial class will be continued and a new program named "Weaver Girl Class" is underway, authorities said.
