Lady Hyegyeong was a pro at PR, though: the positioning of herself and her family, the positioning of Sado and his illness, and--of course--the positioning that allowed her nonetheless to have been the mother of the next king. She made history by writing that thing in its versions and revisions, and not by the fact of being a woman who wrote--by being a woman who was read and whose political opinions were considered thereby. Formed history with her two hands.
