Itō Noe (伊藤 野枝, January 21, 1895 – September 16, 1923) was a Japanese anarchist, social critic, author and feminist. She was the editor-in-chief of the feminist magazine Seitō. Her progressive ideology challenged the norms of the Meiji and Taishō periods in which she lived. She drew praise from critics by being able to weave her personal and political ideas into her writings. While gaining praise from some, she received criticism from others, namely the Japanese government for challenging the constructs of the time. She became a martyr of the ideology in which she believed during the Amakasu Incident.
