10 Super Asian Women Who Shaped History, Volume 1

By: Jia Ling Wang

Narrated by: Jia Ling Wang

Get inspiration from 10 amazing women and be the powerful woman you’re meant to be.

Who comes to mind when you think of powerful women in ancient times? Joan of Arc or Boudica, perhaps? That’s not surprising–these two fearsome women beat the odds to make it in a man’s world. Can that be all, though? Only two extraordinary women among hundreds of men who are praised in history books as great warriors and leaders? There are hundreds of women who should also be in the history books but aren’t. Why is that?

Well, misogyny has been around for hundreds of years...years when men manipulated religion and progressive ideas to keep women in the kitchen and nursery. The truth is that there were many women in Asia in ancient times who ruled countries and led their armies into battle. Countries where women were equal to men and where warrior queens ruled with an iron fist in a velvet glove while holding fast to the feminine values of love and grace. For years, men rewrote history to support their misogyny and excluded women from their rightful place in the history books, making it hard to discover these extraordinary women.

The 10 powerful women in this book are a starting point to change that pattern.

In this book, you will discover:

• The mysterious shaman queen who inspired a Tomb Raider movie and badass wonder girl Lara Croft
• Two sisters who defeated the Chinese army with 80,000 volunteer fighters led by women generals, one of whom was their very own mother
• The first and only female emperor in China’s 3,500-year history who was also a concubine, murderer, and poet
• The astronomer queen who could foretell the future and warded off an invasion by using her extraordinary powers
• The woman who wrote the world’s first novel 1,200 years ago and still influences writers today
• The 12th-century royal sisters who brought universal education and health care to the people of the Khmer Kingdom
• The illiterate war bride and single mom who became the most powerful woman in the 13th century and brought up four sons that became great Khans
• The warrior queen of Delhi, who rode an elephant into battles and who fought bravely to bring peace and prosperity to her people
• And much more

Now, more than ever, women need the inspiration of strong female role models who shaped the world with their courage, fierce intelligence, compassion, and energy.

The 10 magnificent women in this book didn’t know or care what a “glass ceiling” was--they just did what they had to do to make the world a better place. A world where women are respected and nobody questioned whether they should be in positions of power.
