Features: When it comes to famous women in ancient China, the general impression is usually either talented and beautiful courtesans or cunning empress consorts. This book introduces twenty famous women, including not only the two aforementioned types but also women who achieved great accomplishments in crafts and dance. The writing is rigorous and scholarly, unlike some articles on similar topics that resort to wild legends and fictional dramatizations. This allows readers to see relatively authentic ancient people and history.
