Plot



After an encounter with Meiji era feminist Toshiko Kishida, young teacher Eiko leaves her oppressive provincial environment in Okayama for Tokyo, where she joins the Liberal Party and starts a relationship with its charismatic leader Omoi. After years in prison following a political turmoil and false accusation of arson, Eiko is reunited with Omoi, but disappointed to learn that he too still acts in the vein of a "women as domestic tools" attitude, demanding of her to accept his adulterous behaviour. Eiko returns to Okayama to establish a school for young women, convinced that only proper education can lead to female liberation.
