About the book

Provides poems by the three greatest poetesses of the Tang dynasty, China's golden age. One of them, a slave and a courtesan, matched wits with some of the greatest poets of the time. Another one, a Taoist sister, was executed by imperial order for her outspoken criticism of government. The third, also a Taoist sister, was killed by a conspiracy of spurned suitors.
