Konnichiwa Everyone!

I have read many books on Samurai, and there has not been much coverage about Female Samurai, if anyone has any pictures or information about Female Samurai please could you please to post it, as i am writing a book at the moment on not too much material.

Well...it depends. Feudal Japan was not a great tiem for women's rights. I mean hell, they could sell you into prostitution to absolve debts.

If you're talking fictional ppl well...Azumi(very old manga about a female assassin), Tomoe Ame from Usagi Yojimbo(haahaa). There have been instances where women helped men in battle...I remember something about a christian clan revolt in kyushu and the women fought with naginatas, side to side with their samurai.
