On 17 May 1936–during a period of war, economic depression, public unease and growing militarism, a time of unrest and confusion when public opinion was, at best, unpredictable–Sada Abe killed and emasculated her lover.

Because hers was a crime of passion, the purity of her motivation elevates her from criminal to heroine.
