 | Autobiography of a Geisha by G. G. Rowley, Sayo Masuda
Sayo Masuda`s mother sold her to a seedy geisha house when she was 12, and she worked for years, until she quit the business to help out her tubercular brother--only to suffer from not only poverty on the streets but the opprobrium (and legal harassment) attached to a former prostitute. When she determined to return to the geisha life to pay for her brother`s medications, he committed suicide. This bleak account of the decidedly unglamorous side of geisha life has stayed in print since it was first published in Japan in the late `50s, when it shocked the nation. AUTHOR: G. G. Rowley, Sayo Masuda
