61: Down to Business pt.1: Worth Fighting For
Manage episode 428121333 series 3480359
Was Mulan real? Did Mulan exist? And, if so, how accurate is the movie Mulan? This week we get down to business to uncover the history behind our favorite female warrior. We meet other important women from East Asian history. Tamoe Gozen, a Japanese Samurai from the 12th century, whose bravery and romances were featured in Heike monogatari (The Tale of Heike), and Murasaki Shikibu, the author of what's thought of as the world's oldest novel, Genji monogatari (The Tale of Gengi). And, of course, we sing a couple of lines from that killer movie soundtrack (singing podcast?). Women in history had something worth fighting for!
