Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki
3.0

This was an interesting book especially after finishing Women of the Pleasure Quarters. It was a look at some of tge5 things discussed in that book in more detail. My main complaint with this book is that the author states she left the geisha life because she'd been trying to make changes and it wasn't successful. I would have liked to know a little more about that; what kind of change was she trying to bring about? Other than that an interesting read though sad at times.
