Liang Hongyu & China's Song Dynasty

Get to know the history China like never before by meeting the her-oes (famous women leaders and warriors) and digging into social and cultural practices, military, and political history, and more with this edition of DIG magazine.

China is often not a focus in modern history courses, but the rich and long history of the Eastern world has had a profound affect throughout time and across the globe. DIG fills in the gap, giving readers an inside view of how China grew, evolved, and became the powerhouse it is today, through the eyes of individual citizens and leaders. And with focused stories on the unsung women heroes of history, you’ll get a perspective of China not often seen anyplace else.
