I, Empress Dowager Cixi, am one of the most important women in history.

I have ruled the


Qing Dynasty for 47 years successfully. I’m considered the most ruthless empress of all time
as I put down the rebellious who endlessly threatened me. My husband died of
overindulgence as a result I had to take over the empire. I did an exceptional job of ruling the
empire. I faced many challenges for example, After my husband’s death and I had to take
over the empire since empress tongzhi was too young or the time when I was supposed to
retire and give over my throne to Empress Gunagxi, my nephew but it was hard as the whole
city was in chaos I wasn’t the first but still one of the most well-known empress to ever live
and I changed the way men would think about women. I’m still considered one of the most
powerful and I advanced a vicious defense of China in history and earned myself a proud
reactionary.
