In today’s episode I am going to be chatting to the author of a new Historical Fiction murder mystery The Death of Dora Black, Lainie Anderson.

Lainie has made Kate Cox the star of her new Historical fiction murder mystery novel, the Death of Dora Black. Kate Cox, was the first policewoman in the British empire employed on the same salary as men and given the same powers of arrest as her male counterparts. The real Kate Cox forced abusive husbands onto their knees to repent and recite the lord’s prayer and her team were jujitsu experts.

In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of onna-bugeisha, the female samurai who defied traditional gender roles in shogunate Japan. Spanning a period from the 1100s to the 1800s, we explore how these formidable women navigated the rigid feudal class system, trained in martial arts, and defended their homes and castles. Learn about legendary figures like Tomoe Gozen, whose prowess in battle was unparalleled, and Takeko Nakano, who led a valiant, albeit tragic, stand against enemy forces. We also uncover the remarkable story of Miyagino and Shinobu, two peasant women who avenged their father's death using the skills they learned from a samurai instructor. Join us as we shine a light on these warrior women who played crucial roles in the rich tapestry of Japanese history, challenging stereotypes and leaving an indelible mark on their time.
