Li Qingzhao is by far the most famous Chinese female poet of the past thousand years. Her poems are studied in all Chinese schools and universities. Books of her poems are widely sold in China in both English and Chinese. The currently available books containing English translations of her poetry are poor, and there is no generally accessible short biography of her life and account for her times available in English.
