Xiao Chen Tao

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xiao Chen Tao (died in the 12th century BC), was a Chinese princess, the daughter of king Wu Ding.[1]

She was given her own personal fief by her father, the king. She was also appointed to the post of minister by her father. While her political acts are not very well known, her position illustrates the high position of women in Shang China.
