Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki
4.0

This is such an insightful book, the Japanese society before WWII is beautifully written by Mineko Iwasaki. I really like how she became all independent and went outside the world of Geishas. It also tells you how women are treated in a very patriarchal society, Geishas were subjugated to being mistresses. This provides a first hand account on what it takes to be a Geisha.
