		Empress Wu, one of China's most controversial figures, was its first and only female emperor, who emerged in the seventh century during the great Tang Dynasty and ushered in a golden age.
		EMPRESS is an intriguing if somewhat slow-paced read, and it gives a strong sense of a very significant figure in Chinese history (although it regretably does not give the reader much context with respect to the Tang Dynasty in Chinese history and Empress Wu Ze Tian's role therein).
		In Empress, the author carefully documents a remarkable historical event, Empress Wu accomplishing more than she ever dreamed, but paying the price of power, surrounded by perfidy and constant scheming of those who would usurp the throne.
