THE CLAIRVOYANT QUEEN Seondeok
Queen Seondeok of Silla was revered for her wisdom, her compassion, and most importantly - her ability to use nature's signs to foretell the future! And with some truly audacious international diplomacy (and a resolute refusal to bend to patriarchal bullying) she would lay the foundations for the unification of The Three Kingdoms - now known as Korea. Karen Wang Diggs, author of The Book of Awesome Asian Women, helps us uncover the life of this elusive and fascinating queen. Huge thanks to the Korean Performing Arts Institute of Chicago for providing some of the music featured in this episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
