by Phyllis Birnbaum (Author)
Stunning biographical portraits explore the lives of five women--two actresses, two writers, and a painter--who did their best to stand up and cause more trouble than was considered proper in Japanese society. Their lives stretch across a century and a half of explosive cultural and political transformations in Japan.
