Ep107. The 5,000 Yen Woman & The Comet Line

This week the ladies talk about the importance of spelling and rage against the technology! First, Emily covers Ichiyo Higuchi a Meiji Era writer who wasn't afraid to call out how Japan's rapid modernization was leaving a lot of people in the dust (particularly poor women.) Then, Kelley tells the story of Andrée de Jongh AKA  Dédée who, after being inspired by another woman's sacrifice in WWI, worked with the Belgian Resistance in WWII to smuggle Allied soldiers out of occupied territory.
