"Beginning with the Limit" is a year-long correspondence between feminist pioneer Chizuko Ueno and popular writer Suzumi Suzuki.
During adolescence, Chizuko Ueno went to Kyoto alone to study, just to escape from her father and the church; at the same time, Suzuki Suzumi stepped into the world of selling her body in order to rebel against her parents.
When he was in college, Ueno participated in the vigorous student movement, but on the other side of the trench he witnessed that boys only regarded girls as tools to solve their physiological problems; Suzuki studied at the best private university in Japan, but had to seek his own value in the night world.
After her student days, Ueno considered herself an independent woman, but ended up becoming a bed partner that men could call upon at will; on the other hand, Suzuki began to write about the charm and filth of the night world, and was often attacked and criticized by women.
Today, Ueno is Japan's leading researcher on women's studies, while Suzuki has reached the limit of the night world. While questioning the past and doubting herself, she hesitates about how to take the next step.
They were 35 years apart in age and had led very different lives. In their year-long correspondence, they stabbed each other and themselves with sharp words on topics such as love and sex, marriage, work, independence, and men.

This book can save women. —Novelist Kanon Hanafusa From beginning to end, I felt like I'd been struck by a blunt instrument. It was as if someone grabbed my collar and said, "Hey! Don't pretend you didn't see me!" After reading this book, I think there's no woman who wouldn't become a feminist. —Amazon reader I deeply felt how difficult it is for women to survive. Even so, after reading this book, I feel that being a woman is indeed a blessing. —International political scientist Rurei Miura
