Yoshiko Kawashima

Welcome to the first episode of Queer As Fact season 6!

Today’s episode is on Yoshiko Kawashima, a queer Chinese-Japanese spy and public figure. Join us for rituals to commemorate queer life milestones, smuggling an ex-Empress in the boot of a car, and no less than four pet monkeys.

NOTE: This episode contains a brief discussion of sexual assault from 24:30 - 27:10.
