Best of: Sada Abe

Womanica - Un podcast de iHeartPodcasts and Wonder Media Network

In honor of the spookiest month, we’re revisiting our favorite Womanica episodes featuring villains, troublemakers, magic, and mystery all October. We're starting with Sada Abe, (1905-1971) who was a Japanese murderer convicted of killing her lover. Her case became a national sensation in Japan, where it took on mythic associations and captured the minds of a country in the ramp up to World War II. Her story has since been adapted and interpreted by filmmakers, artists, novelists, and philosophers as emblematic of a woman trying to follow her own desires in a society built on false morality and oppression.
