Stranger in the Shogun’s City: A Japanese Woman and Her World

byAmy Stanley

Focused on a Japanese Woman and Her World, Stranger in the Shogun’s City brings Amy Stanley's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
