Black and white photographic illustrations, xvii + 255 pages, paperback. These biographical portraits explore the lives of five women 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 cultural and political transformations in Japan. These five artists - two actresses, two writers and a painter - were noted for their talents, their beauty, and their love affairs rather than for any association with politics. But through the fearlessness of their art and their private lives, they influenced the attitudes of their times and challenged the status quo.
