It's time for a brand new series, and this time we're headed further back in time than we ever have before: the 7th century! For series 14 of The Biographers, we're covering Wu Zhao -- the only woman to ever reign as the Emperor of China. At just 13 years old, Wu Zhao was recruited into the Emperor's harem of concubines, and despite being born in a time and place where women were viewed as disposable, she would seize every opportunity put before her in a relentless quest to have her name carved into the history books. Buckle up, kids -- this one's going to be a doozie! (Ep. 77)
