The goal is to show how Lady Rokujo uses spiritual powers to rebel against the sexual hierarchy of Heian Japan while not fully defying its sexism. This is supported by historical background of the Heian period, examples of the mistreatment of women in the novel, and close analysis of instances of Lady Rokujo\u27s supernatural actions. This analysis shows there is a complicated background to the vengeful spirit trope that still haunts the global imagination
