Li Qingzhao (1084–1151), also known as Yi’an Jushi, is considered the greatest woman poet in Chinese history, though only two English translations of her works remain in print today. During her lifetime, she defied cultural expectations for women by writing and persevering through war, exile, imprisonment, and the loss of her fortune.
