Produktbeschreibung

"There was one big advantage of looking glamorous in battle, you know: you will die beautiful".

Based on the true story of a warrior woman who wore make-up in battles against the Japanese during their occupation of the Philippines, this historical fiction depicts the legendary quest of a revolutionary feminine soldier to deliver justice for the crimes of the invaders without losing the self that she proudly loves.

To avenge the death of her father from the cruelty of the imperial Japanese forces, a beauty queen joined the rebel army and rose up the ranks and battled against the enemy and she did it all the while wearing lipstick and being fully made-up!

Find out how she acquired the majestic titles of 'beauty queen' and 'deadly commander' and be awed by her phenomenal gallantry!
