Fascinating stories of four legendary women of ancient China, all in one volume - reflecting the culture and tumultuous events of those times, where intelligence and creative talent emerged through strength of character.
Ancient China was a man’s world , and so for a woman to excel was like throwing a stone into the air and expecting it to remain.
These four women are brought to life by the author, showing their character; their intelligence; their capacity to love; and most important their resilience. At the end of the book, each will be your sister, where you will weep or celebrate as they did.

ladies themselves. This is truly a case where history reads more
interesting than fiction.
