Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.4MB
Overview: Long before feminism and the modern age, one woman’s personal journey sets the tone for much of the 20th Century’s fight for equality. Noe Ito came of age during Japan’s Taisho era (1912-26), a period of widespread unrest and radical change. A rigid class system provoked socialist outrage; anarchists called for the overthrow of the government; and a feminists radically announced the birth of the “new woman.” Beauty in Disarray is Ito’s thrilling story, set in the middle of all this turbulence. Ito’s life touches on emotions including alienation, rebellion, passion, and persecution, all in twenty-eight short years. She was married three times and gave birth to seven children; she was at the center of a scandal when another woman stabbed her lover because he had started living with Ito. Despite the turmoil of her private life. Ito spent a year as editor of the magazine Seito, one of the most revolutionary publications of the day. This riveting biography asks whether Ito was a selfless trailblazer or a selfish hedonist, a rare woman ahead of her time or a mere victim of her times. Noe Ito is a complex character whom no two readers will view the same way, but all will agree that author Harumi Setouchi has created a remarkable portrait of an exceptional woman.
