Female Leaders of Japan: Empress Jingu

Welcome back to Japanese History for Everyone, where we breakdown Japanese History into easy to bite pieces.
Today I'm posting the first video of another new series called "Female Leaders of Japan" where you will learn all about the different women who ruled or may have ruled Japan. Our first female leader is Empress Jingu, who technically is not considered an Empress by the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, but is still at the center of a well known mythological story.
