She was a radical leader of China that wanted to preserve her country and its history of dynasties. She was an Imperial concubine that had gained the throne upon the death of the Emperor in 1856. Cixi refused to adopt Western models of government but she highly supported technological and military reforms. She is known famously in history as the woman who made a decree of banning foot binding in the practice of Chinese culture. Cixi was also the woman responsible for turning China into a Constitutional Monarchy.
