520 2  "This volume completes Keith McMahon's acclaimed history 
       of imperial wives and royal polygamy in China. Avoiding 
       the stereotype of the emperor's plural wives as mere 
       victims or playthings, the book considers empresses and 
       concubines as full-fledged participants in palace life, 
       whether as mothers, wives, or go-betweens in the emperor's
       relations with others in the palace. Although restrictions
       on women's participation in politics increased 
       dramatically after Empress Wu in the Tang, the author 
       follows the strong and active women, of both high and low 
       rank, who continued to appear. They counseled emperors, 
       ghostwrote for them, oversaw succession when they died, 
       and dominated them when they were weak. They influenced 
       the emperor's relationships with other women and enhanced 
       their aura and that of the royal house with their acts of 
       artistic and religious patronage. Dynastic history ended 
       in China when the prohibition that women should not rule 
       was defied for the final time by Dowager Cixi, the last 
       great monarch before China's transformation into a 
       republic"--Provided by publisher.
