Raicho Hiratsuka

Raichō Hiratsuka (February 10, 1886 – May 24, 1971) was a writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her April 1913 essay “To the Women of the World” rejected the conventional role of women as ryōsai kenbo (Good wife and wise mother): “I wonder how many women have, for the sake of financial security in their lives, entered into loveless marriages to become one man’s lifelong servant and prostitute.”
