Women, Love and Modern Life: Essays and Reviews

Itō Noe · 1913–1917 · translated by Valentin Sarić

Itō Noe (1895–1923), editor of the feminist magazine Seitō, argued in print about love, chastity, work, marriage and the claims of family, and never softened her opinions.

These eleven pieces include her response to Hiratsuka Raichō's essay on the value of virginity, a reading of Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession, a children's dialogue about elections, notices of books and magazines, commentary on newspaper stories of women driven to suicide, and a frank essay on marital quarrels.

A new English translation from the Japanese. AI-assisted translation, prepared and edited by Valentin Sarić.
