Although Women's History Month (March 1–March 31 of 2020) isn't a traditional or recognized 'month' of reflection and celebration in Japan, or Okinawa, as far as I am aware, I felt as if I should spread a little information about the women of Okinawa. This includes those past and present that made a difference or had an impact or influence on society here.
Some stories may stem from the trials, tribulations, and suffrage that women might've gone through and the outcome of that, to even successful women today that are of Okinawan descent (ウチナンチュ - Uchinanchu – of Okinawan people).
If you're aware of any woman in Okinawa that deserves some form of recognition for whatever it may have been, from as little as volunteering in their respective communities to actions that went unnoticed, feel free to respond with a little information on them here. Alternatively, you can also privately contact us using the "Contact Us" page if you're not a member or use the Contact Okinawa.Org Support forum so there can be some private back and forth discussion on the forum itself.
I will try to make a couple of posts throughout the month in regarding women that made an impact of some kind in Okinawa, and you're more than welcome to join in the discussion as well!
