Bio Wu
began life in a noble family and was sent off to become a concubine
of Chinese Emperor Tai Tsung at 13. At 27, she was the concubine
of the new emperor, Kao Tsung, and the mother of his sons.
Wu accused the empress of murder and got the
job, but once Kao Tsung had a stroke, her real power began.
When Kao Tsung died, Wu had her youngest, weakest son declared
emperor and kept control of China. In 690, Wu was declared
emperor in her own right. She didn't abdicate until the
year of her death in 705. By then she had encouraged
scholarship, Buddhism, public works, farming and the secret
police. Nancy
If you loved the grace and
beauty of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,
you will also be entranced by House of Flying
Daggers and Hero (based on a true
story). I can't wait for the next masterpiece
of color and movement from China.

Adeline Yen Mah grabbed
me with Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society, though this particular book is written for the juvenile
fiction market.
Yen Mah's books relate
to her privileged but sad life during great upheavals of the
20th century in China. Any girl will not only enjoy the
books, but also learn about self reliance. Nancy PS The adult version of this
biography is Falling Leaves. It's excellent
too.
