Ayra Chang asked Lisa See:

I am not a Confucius fan, nor do i intend to be rude, but the introduction for Lady Tan's Circle of Women, "According to Confucius, 'an educated woman is a worthless woman'", is very wrong. I believe this saying is the translation of "女子無才便是德", which was NOT said/written by him. In fact, it was introduced in the Ming Dynasty...and had very little to do with Confucius. If possible, can you make some modifications?

Lisa See I can make the change in future editions. Thanks for pointing this out to me. You are not rude at all.
