This was the first American novel by a writer of Japanese ancestry, and as such is a landmark of modern American fiction and Japanese-American transnationalism. Targeting the American fantasy of Madame Butterfly, Noguchi's New Woman heroine freely dispenses her insights on Japanese culture and American lifestyles.
