Emperor Wu Zhao and Her Pantheon of Devis, Divinities, and Dynastic Mothers - The Sheng Yen Series in Chinese Buddhist Studies
Norman H. Rothschild
Wu Zhao (624–705), better known as Wu Zetian or Empress Wu, is the only woman to have ruled China as emperor. How did she ascend the dragon throne? This multifaceted history suggests that China's rich pantheon of female divinities and eminent women played an integral part in the construction of Wu Zhao's sovereignty.
