Kaneko Fumiko (1903-1926) wrote this memoir while in prison after
being convicted of plotting to assassinate the Japanese emperor.
Despite an early life of misery, deprivation, and hardship, she
grew up to be a strong and independent young woman. When she moved
to Tokyo in 1920, she gravitated to left-wing groups and eventually
joined with the Korean nihilist Pak Yeol to form a two-person
nihilist organization. Two days after the Great Tokyo Earthquake,
in a general wave of anti-leftist and anti-Korean hysteria, the
authorities arrested the pair and charged them with high treason.
Defiant to the end (she hanged herself in prison on July 23, 1926),
Kaneko Fumiko wrote this memoir as an indictment of the society
that oppressed her, the family that abused and neglected her, and
the imperial system that drove her to her death.
