'only woman to rule with the title Empress Regnant'
editLeaving the miscapitalization aside, this is simply wrong. I'm sure there's a way to rephrase to make the point, but it's just a mistaken translation or misunderstanding of Wu Zetian's position. Like Hatshepsut or some of the Byzantines, she ruled without a separate gendered title. There may be a way in modern Chinese to express the concept 'empress regnant' but the title she ruled under was simply 'emperor'. — LlywelynII 22:06, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
