OK, I'll see if I can help a bit.

The book Michael refers to is:

Chiang, William Wei. "We Two Know the Script: We Have Become Good Friends."
Linguistic and Social Aspects of the Women's Script Literacy in Southern Hunan
China. Diss. Yale U. Ann Arbor. UMI, 1992 9221412

I got this reference from:

http://www2.ttcn.ne.jp/~orie/reference.htm

It does appear that many of the search hits are references to books.
I suspect that Marcus would rather do his research on-screen.

A decent starting point seems to be "World of Nushu" at:

http://www2.ttcn.ne.jp/~orie/

When looking for web sites on Nushu (or Nüshu), be sure to search for "Nu Shu"
(two words) as well.

Bastard....

Heh heh heh. No, yes, no, seriously, I have some links and stuff. I
have some hardcopy dictionaries, actually. I also have some deadlines
and won't be able to get to this at all soon in any way

There's a book on Nushu called something like "we know the script and
we are friends" which is pretty much It regarding that.

Yi comes in two flavours, one of which is completely encoded in
Unicode. The other of which is very messy....

Tompa (yet another name) is wierd and interesting. I'm interested in
the phonetic variety which is encodable. The other variety is
comic-book-like.

Honestly that's all I can say right now....
