workingclasshistory:On this day, 25 January 1911 Kanno Sugako, a Japanese anarchist feminist, was executed for her part in a plot to assassinate the Emperor. She remains the only woman to be executed in Japan for treason. Radicalised at the age of 14 after being raped, she was one of Japan’s first female journalists and advocates of women’s rights, as well as a prolific writer of fiction and non-fiction. She was inspired by Sophia Perovskaya, who helped assassinate the Russian Tsar. This is her brief prison diary written while awaiting execution: http://bit.ly/2po10Uc http://bit.ly/2DAAaOh -- source link
