| Description: | Tzu-Hsi, Dowager Empress of China, the last of the great Asiatic rulers, died in 1908. Tzu-Hsi was not of royal birth, but at the age of 16 her striking beauty won her the coveted honor of a place in the Imperial harem. From the first she found great favor in Emperor Hsien-feng's eyes and when his wife died it was Tzu-Hsi who was chosen to succeed her; the lovely concubine was named Empress of the Western Palace and her incredible career had begun. Like her mighty western contemporary, Queen Victoria, Tzu-Hsi achieved her greatest glory in the days of her long widowhood, and her story tells the history of contemporary China.— Book’s dust jacket [Suggest a different description.] |
