Description: THE DRAGON EMPRESS, Life and Times of TZ'U-HSI, 1835-1908, EMPRESS OF CHINA by MARINA WARNER. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY PUBLISHERS, NEW YORK. 1972, STATED FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. "From 1861 to 1908 the Celestial Empire was controlled by a woman, the Empress Dowager Ts'u-hsi, born the daughter of a minor mandarin in 1835. Opportunist, ruthless, malicious and xenophobic, she ruled over four hundred million peole and thought herself 'the cleverest woman who ever lived'. Yet, whilst her determination held the empire together for nearly fifty years, her entrenched reactionariness and adherence to an obsolete Sino-centric world precipitated China into poverty, civil war and foreign invasions, and brought about the end of the Ch'ing dynasty."
