3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awesome look at the real-life samurai women of Japan's History, with many interesting stories, anecdotes, contemporary and modern illustrations. An excellent read well worth the time for anyone interested in the "warrior lives" of women of a region often thought to have women solely in traditional and ornamental roles.
