Welcome to this week’s episode of Unruly Figures! I’m so excited to be covering Nobuko Yoshiya, a beloved Japanese novelist. In addition to living a publicly queer life in early 20th century Japan, she was a pioneer of Class S fiction and a foundational writer for today's popular shōjo manga. Why not leave your thoughts in the comments?
And don’t forget: You can always suggest your favorite historical rule-breakers in the Suggestion Box!
