Description:

The Japanese women whose memoirs, journals and essays are collected in this volume constitute a strong current in the history of modern Japanese life from the 1880s to the outbreak of World War II. The women reveal why they joined left-wing groups in order to fight oppression and injustice.

Synopsis:

In this book, for the first time, we can hear the startling, moving voices of adventurous and rebellious Japanese women as they eloquently challenged the social repression of prewar Japan. The extraordinary women whose memoirs, recollections, and essays are presented here constitute a strong current in the history of modern Japanese life from the 1880s to the outbreak of the Pacific War.
