Question:
Hey Guys, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I'm thinking of writing a Socio-Anthro paper on the most powerful women in China's history and how their beauty, grace, or intelligence affected or marked a period in China's history. Do you guys have any suggestions of who I should focus on? This paper has to be at least 12 pages long so I need a lot of names to write about. To further emphasize the poin that there has been many ladies/women who have played an important role in shaping China's history. Perhaps, you guys can suggest one or two names for each dynasty/era. Thanks a bunch.

Empress Wu Zetian (624-705) of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) was the only female monarch of China, and ruled the empire for over half a century. While her actions have been a subject for debate for more than ten centuries, Wu Zetian remains the most remarkable, influential and mysterious woman in Chinese history.
Wu Zetian was born in 624. Her parents were rich and of noble families. As a child she was taught to write, read the Chinese classics and to play music.
At the age of fourteen, this accomplished child became a concubine to Emperor Taizong. She was given the title Cairen (a fifth grade concubine of the Tang Dynasty). Her perspicacity set her apart from others in the palace and her knowledge of literature and history and talent quickly found favor with the emperor. He bestowed Wu Zetian the title Meiniang which means 'charming lady' and she was assigned to work in the imperial study. Here she was introduced to official documents and quickly became acquainted with affairs of state.
Answer:
Well ... I read that Wu Yi is the second most Power woman in the World (rated by Forbes)
I read about her. She's not one of the dynasty people, but I guess she does have an effect on China's government right now.
