From an imperial concubine to one of the most powerful women in Chinese history, Empress Dowager Cixi rose to prominence in the final decades of the Qing dynasty. Drawing on extensive historical research, Jung Chan re-examines Cixi’s controversial legacy, challenging long-held portrayals of her as a ruthless and backward ruler. Through her story, the book explores the political struggles, sweeping reforms, and turbulent transformations that shaped China’s path towards modernity. A compelling biography, it offers a fresh perspective on the woman who helped steer China through a pivotal era in its history.
