Chris, I wonder if you can point me in the direction of anything written about Hojo Masako as one of the powerful women that seems to fit into this thread. Much appreciated from a JR station at 23:37.
Hi Richard, assuming you won’t mind me punting my own work at you (!) then I have a chapter on her in my book ‘The Japanese: A History in Twenty Lives.’ Further refs available from there.
Thank you once again for a very informative podcast, pulling together the thread of women who played significant roles in shaping Japanese history. Also, for making (at least) me aware of the work of Lesley Downer, who I admit I had not come across before. Summer reading list just increased!
