Meet Rebellious Hair and Silken Robes... Bibliography

Hi, folks!

My favorite piece of history for this episode that I came across is this 1914 article about Violette K. Ho and her epic quest to get the women of America to wear trousers.

The Tacoma Times [Tacoma, WA], 28 November 1914

Hi folks - my research is less scholarly than Mari’s and more Internet-y. That said, here’s the grid of Asians with purple/ blue hair. It really shows you just how many characters there are and the similarity of the character designs across the board. I think there’s a lot more to say about how Western media views Asian characters, especially how Asian women are viewed. We don’t get into that too much in this episode - but we will revisit it soon.
