Ichiyo Higuchi
Considered the first professional female writer in modern Japan, receiving a classical education in a time where any education for women was a struggle. From samurai lineage, in her short 24-years o flife, she endured the death of both her brother and father, the failing of his business, and became the head of her household, responsible for supporting her mother and younger sisters. She wrote 4 novels after the age of 20, turning down a marriage proposal in the process. Her writings were known to reflect the lives of the downtrodden women and children of Japan.
