Fourth Quarter ORB

I chose the book Empress by Shan Sa which is 319 pages long. This book written by a woman born in Beijing and is about Empress Wu from the 7th century. I picked out this book because I have strong interest in Asian culture and especially women’s roles in ancient Asian societies. I specifically chose this book from the other books about Asia because of the author’s unique writing style, and of course, because it isn’t a really long book. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to reading Empress for fourth quarter.
