Extensively published, Veronica Chambers has written and edited for national magazines for 12 years. People magazine deemed her memoir Mama’s Girl “extraordinary.” Kickboxing Geishas examines boundary-busting modern Japanese women, who freely mix East and West, burying stereotypes and defining an electrifying new culture in their country.
