Dowager Empress Cixi revolutionised China, despite numerous obstacles in her way, including the inferior view of women at the time. Read this empowering biography with me, going behind the scenes and discovering what Cixi was really like, not just the common misconceptions. Jung Chang’s writing will keep you hooked all the way through as we travel through the years that shaped Empress Dowager Cixi, and that she used to shape China.
