Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki

4.0

This book intrigued me because it is written by (or rather, told to someone else by) a woman who actually was a top-ranked geisha. Having read Memoirs of a Geisha, I wanted to get a more realistic perspective on things, and Geisha: A Life did not disappoint. Iwasaki Mineko seems willing to admit to her foibles as well as her strengths, and it makes for an engaging history.
