Dragon Lady" refers to an Asian woman who is perceived as seductive, desirable but at the time she is untrustworthy. Movies from the early century have been successful in portraying this stereotypical version of the Asian woman. "Daughter of the Dragon " is one of them. Scheming, treacherous and dangerous, the Dragon Lady is the female version of the Asian bad guy, only with a slightly different approach to defeat her enemies. She has the power to hypnotize her male rivals, gain trust by seducing them, and when they least expect it, she rids of them through sabotage or backstabbing (Espiritu).
That being said, Clinton must stop the ivory tower routine. Her handlers are making a huge mistake if they think they can trot her out next fall to woo the voters. You need to let the folks get to know you now, because for years you've been defined as a dragon lady.
Like most Americans, I don't know Clinton. I met her once at a crowded event, and we passed a few words but nothing of substance. So, maybe she is a dragon lady. Maybe, she can't relate to the folks. I just don't know.
