The last empress of China, Cixi fought ruthlessly to isolate her country
from the West, while cloistered inside her lavish Forbidden City,
ignoring the needs of her people. But was the Dragon Empress evil or

Gorgeous illustrations and an intelligent, evocative story bring to life
a real dastardly dame whose ignorance brought a centuries-old dynasty
crashing down, ending the imperial system that had ruled China for
millennia.
