They were called empresses, and they did exist. They existed, however they did not have the power that emperors did. They did have a say, and their wishes did impact (depending on who ruled during the time, during the Han dynasty, empresses especially had a lot of power as well as eunuchs) decisions, however they typically were not "the deciders." They could often suggest things, and often it did affect decisions, however it was not necessarily always the final decision.

Were woman even emperors of china?

Yes, women did serve as emperors in China, although it was rare. The most notable example is Empress Wu Zetian, who ruled during the Tang Dynasty and is the only woman to officially hold the title of emperor. Other women, such as Empress Dowagers, wielded significant power and influence, often acting as regents for their sons or husbands, but Wu Zetian remains the most prominent figure in terms of formal emperorship.

Were any wowen ever emperors of China?

Assuming you meant women, no. There were empresses, but they had less power than men and could lose it as soon as there was a male heir. Empresses could only be in power if there were no males left to claim the throne. In ancient China, women were not considered as capable as men.
