she was the first Chinese empress
Wu Zhao, also known as Empress Wu Zetian, is significant in Chinese history as the only woman to officially rule as emperor in her own right during the Tang Dynasty. She rose to power through her intelligence and political acumen, ultimately establishing a brief but impactful Zhou Dynasty. Her reign is noted for promoting Buddhism, advancing women's rights, and implementing reforms that improved governance and the civil service. Wu Zhao's legacy challenges traditional gender roles in a predominantly patriarchal society and remains a topic of interest in discussions about female leadership in history.
Wu Zhao was the only woman in the history of China to assume the title of Empress Regnant. As de facto ruler of China first through her husband and her sons from 665 to 690, not unprecedented in Chinese history, she then broke all precedents when she founded her own dynasty in 690, the Zhou (?) (interrupting the Tang Dynasty), and ruled personally under the name Sacred and Divine Empress Regnant (????) and variations thereof from 690 to 705. Her rise and reign has been criticized harshly by Confucian historians but has been viewed under a different light after the 1950s
