Okay, just expanded this article on Hojo Masako. Please let me know what you guys think. I want to thank [1] for the picture of Hojo Masako from Yoshitsune.

Let me know how I did.

I edited the sentence with "tomboy" and one with "tender" ("tender age of thirteen") because these descriptions are subjective. Your additions seem very helpful. Perhaps noting why these activities (hunting/fishing/horseback riding/eating with men) are unusual for women in this culture would help explain why she is such a notable figure in samurai history, as certain clans trained girls how to defend their homes but subserviance to men was an imperative.

[edit] More Expansion

The article is factually but contains very little on the woman herself. It's like reading a timeline of her life. Really we need discussion of what "she did" as it were. She was nicknamed the "Nun Shogun", yet there's no discussion of her political involvment, etc.

Can anyone fit such parts in? John Smith's 23:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
