And stupid question no. 1: Were there such things as female samurai warriors?
I don't think that's a stupid question at all! ...but it's out of my area of research. I can ask in a separate post, if you'd like, since I know there are several folks on my dwircle/flist who have studied Japanese history more than just as a gloss. The one author I know who's done major amounts of research into Japanese traditions (especially military) would be Slobbit. I gave her a head's up, so feel free to head that way and ask her. She's pretty amazingly well-versed in a lot of curious trivia about Japanese culture and so on.
