“Empress Jingu was one such woman skilled and fit to lead a battle, which she did. She personally organized and led a conquest to Korea in 200 AD. Women like her were considered strong warriors and exception to the cultural ideology of women staying home to take care of the children and family’s property

"Kawahara Asako was among several Aizu women determined to defend the castle against invaders. Their education had prepared these women for war. These warriors stand in a long tradition of women in Japan who joined battles alongside their male counterparts and immortalized themselves as Onna-Bugeisha, literally, “female martial arts masters."

"Female warriors were in the noblest class of feudal Japanese society and would fight alongside men during warfare.”
