~A Review~
Geisha, A Life by: Mineko Iwasaki
This nonfiction book written by a famous Geiko (Geisha) of her time wrote this story to show the legacy and steps it takes in order to become a Geisha. The book is full of hardship, pain, but over all glory. Mineko is a stubborn, shy girl, and always has been. Born in Kyoto, Japan, Mineko had over 9 brothers and sisters and two parents. Once chosen to become a Geisha, she left to live in her "Big Sister's" home until her apperance as a full-fledged Geisha. This story is very personal and tells a hard story of what it's like to become famous in her country.
