Happy Women's History Month! In keeping with my last March video, I decided to cover the life of a female Anarchist from Japan. Itō Noe was a Japanese Anarchist and Feminist who lived in the early 20th century. She was a prominent writer for the Magazine Seito, and eventually its editor and chief. Through her work, she advocated for women's rights, individual rights, and an abolition of hierarchy. She underwent an interesting ideological development as she shifted from Individualist Anarchism to Anarcho-Communism, heavily influenced by the work of American Anarchist Emma Goldman. Her life was subject to many scandals, as she published controversial opinions and was involved in a polyamorous relationship with fellow Anarchist Ōsugi Sakae, who was also involved with two other women at the time. Drama! Intrigue! We've got it all here, folks, right up until the Amakasu Incident.
