Mitsu Tanaka
A prominent feminist and author who gained some notoriety in Japan for her activism in the 70s. She helped establish the Fighting Women Group, lead rallies and established the first women's shelter in 1972 (though it was closed in 77). Her group mainly fouht to keep women's rights to abortion. She believed abortion was murder, but condemned a society that "forced women to become killers" because of no legal alternatives to abortions (such as birth control) - birth control pills were actually only legalized in Japan in 1999, abortion being the preferred method of the Japanese culture for dealing with unwanted pregnancies, and for eugenic practices. This outlook is still very common today; as a large amount of feminism in Japan failed in the 70s, and even today, is still considered "fringe" activism and is heavily marginalized.
