Geisha, Harlot, Strangler, Star: A Woman, Sex, and Morality in Modern Japan - Asia Perspectives: History, Society, and Culture
William Johnston
In 1936, Abe Sada committed the most notorious crime in twentieth-century Japan-the murder and emasculation of her lover. This detailed account of Sada's personal history, the events leading up to the crime, and its aftermath steps beyond the simplistic view of Abe Sada as a sexual deviate or hysterical woman to reveal a survivor.
