Murasaki Shikibu
Japanese novelist and poet Murasaki Shikibu served as a lady-in-waiting at the Imperial court in the Heian period, in the late 900s and early 1000s CE. While she is best known for the three-part novel The Tale of Genji, 128 of her poems were gathered into a collection of Poetic Memoirs, and her diary serves as a fascinating look at court life in this period.
