We're joined by another guest in this episode! Charly gives us a brief rundown of Japanese history, and then tells us about Yaeko Yamamoto, a Japanese daughter of a samurai who was skilled in gunnery and was an all-round incredible woman for reasons you'll discover in this episode.
Not only was she a warrior woman, a nurse for the Japanese Red Cross, and a master at tea ceremonies and flower arranging, but she was also the recipient of multiple Orders of Merit and founded several schools. If you love badass women of history, this is the episode for you!
