Is Wu Zetian the first female politician in the history of China?

At present, there are clear historical data to prove that female politicians in the middle and late Shang Dynasty were good wives.

Fu Hao is the wife of Shang Zhouwang Wu Ding, the first female military commander in China (Oracle Bone Inscriptions), and an outstanding female politician. She not only led the army to explore the territory of Wuding, but also presided over various sacrificial activities of Wuding Dynasty. Therefore, Wu Ding likes her very much. After her death, Wu Ding was heartbroken and called her "Xin". Later generations of Shang Dynasty honored her as "mother Xin" and "stepmother Xin". The tomb of the rich was discovered and excavated in Anyang, Henan Province on 1976. Among the fragments of Oracle bones unearthed in Wuding period, there are some Oracle bones for sacrifice and divination, which are signed as "symbols". Sacrifice and divination are very important political activities in Shang dynasty, and everything needs to be asked about ghosts and gods. It records the earliest ambush in history. A good woman led her troops into an ambush circle, and then was attacked by an ambush led by Wu Ding, winning a great victory. In Shang Dynasty, those who were qualified to preside over divination and write about Oracle Bone Inscriptions were high-ranking politicians, including the emperor.
