Summary
'Born a commoner, became a concubine, and died as China's only female emperor'. Wu Zhao-post-humously named Wu Zetian was one of China's greatest Emperors, and the founder of the Zhou Dynasty. In a civilisation that strictly segregated the genders, how did a 13-year old teenage girl from a nothing background grow into a woman who could seize the Dragon Throne? What is her story?
