Kaneko Fumiko (19031926) 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 leftwing groups and eventually joined with the Korean nihilist Pak Yeol to form a twoperson nihilist organization. Two days after the Great Tokyo Earthquake, in a general wave of antileftist and antiKorean 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.
