Talk:Dragon Lady

message: I began this article in response to the following situation.  The article on the Dowager Empress CiXi is linked from a disambiguation page Dragon Lady.  On this disambiguation page, there was a redlink to Dragon Lady (character).  This article is designed to replace that redlink with an active link, but I had not been working on the article for five minutes before someone marked it for deletion.
For indications of the importance of the Dragon Lady as a fictional character, see Milton Caniff, Rembrandt of the Comic Strip, The Smithsonian Book of Comic Strip Comics, or any other major reference to the comic strip medium.

replies: text: yes, to give ya another perspective..well first off it usually conveys a strong, deceitful, domineering woman... heavy on the deceitful, w/ a personal agenda/quest. See: Angela Lansbury character in 1962 'The Manchurian Candidate'. To make it even MORE obvious, at one point in the film, Mrs Eleanor Iselin (AL) wears a dark, tight-fitting silk? dress, upon which is embroidered... a dragon! 2600:1700:A760:C10:E8B3:B4EC:49E6:6DE1 (talk) 05:58, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Dragonlady.jpg

message: I don't see it mentioned in this article but part of the Dragon Lady's power lies in her sexuality. She was seen as seductive and sexually assertive (or at least flirtatious) but not in a loving way, she used her sexuality as a weapon. At least is the Hollywood stereotype that is still seen today. 
Unfortunately, I haven't read all of those sociological studies that are mentioned so I don't have a citation to back up my observation. But considering how toned down sexuality was in films after the Hays Code, I think the fact this character type was sexual is notable, even if it was in a manipulative way. 69.125.134.86 (talk) 20:57, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sexuality 

message: I am looking to edit this page slightly for a class: Asian American Cinema. I mostly would like to add more history to the origins of the term Dragon Lady, and the history of it’s use, specifically in movies. I would like to add a section of different Dragon Ladies in American Cinema. Mostly including Anna May Wong, and Nancy Kwan, and now Michelle Yeong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Team eggboy (talk • contribs) 02:49, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Somehow, this page should be edited for the 1987 newsworthy reports of then-First Lady Nancy Reagan being referred to as a dragon lady for the unchecked power she held within The White House and then-President Reagan defending her.
For historical reference, this link is to the AP reporting on this issue in 1987.
