She spent near- ly all her life in the magnificient but impenetrable seclus- ion of the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. Her enemies claimed she was more vicioius and depraved than Messalina; crueller than Lucrezia Boprgia, more despotic than Catherine the Great. Some British & American admirers have even placed her above Elizabeth I of England as the greatest states- woman the world has ever known. A marvelous insight to the real person. .
