Kanno Suga and Kaneko Fumika were both found guilty on different
occasions in 1911 and 1926 of conspiring to assassinate the
Japanese emperor. Kanno was executed and Kaneko hanged herself
whilst in prison, but both women maintained their defiance of the
State even in the face of death. Through examination of their own
life stories and writings, Helene Bowen Raddeker brings to life the
women's own interpretations of their lives and their attitudes to
death, with the associations of political martyrdom, heroism and
notions of immortality. She finds that their self-presentations
became weapons in an ideological war of words about social and
political realities and their deaths were a means of
self-empowerment within their historical context.
