Onoto Watanna

    Onoto Watanna, vlastním jménem Winnifred Eaton, byla spisovatelkou, která si získala slávu díky svému debutovému románu A Japanese Nightingale. Její dílo se často zabývá tématy rasy a genderu a nabízí jedinečný pohled na identitu a postavení ženy na počátku 20. století. Watannina próza, která kombinuje autobiografické prvky s literární fikcí, čtenáře uchvacuje svým autentickým hlasem a poutavým vyprávěním. Její schopnost proplétat osobní zkušenosti s širšími společenskými otázkami činí její tvorbu nadčasovou a relevantní i dnes.
