I started of a bit rocky with this book. put it down several times thinking what a waste of paper. but, there is a powerful draw for me to this book. It's the subject matter. I am a big fan of powerful women through history. So will give it a go and see if I can complete.
Also, very good description of the time and customs of Ancient China. Very intriguing. But this does sometimes take away from the subject.

Sometimes too many examples are given. Great for building the image of the time but bad for keeping the readers attention. I feel like so far more than 1/2 of the book has been about other subjects then the person it's meant to be about.
