On this day, January 21, in 1895, Japanese author, social critic and feminist Itō Noe was born in Fukuoka, Japan. While editor-in-chief of the feminist magazine Seitō, she placed great emphasis on addressing societal problems which garnered severe government pushback and censorship. Her anarchist views on challenging arranged marriages, promoting free love and legalizing abortion (and later prostitution) threatened societal norms, and in 1923 she, her longtime partner, and his 6-year-old nephew were arrested, strangled to death, and thrown into an abandoned well by a squad of military police, sparking shock and anger throughout Japan; she was 28 years old.
