## Bio

Tomoe Gozen appears in The Tale of the Heike as an onna-musha who fought for Minamoto no Yoshinaka at the Battle of Awazu during the Genpei War in the late Heian period. The problem: she's absent from every primary account of the conflict that established the Kamakura shogunate. Whether she was a real warrior written out of official histories or a literary invention that became legend is still unresolved. Either way, her name endures where the names of confirmed soldiers do not.
