Ronin
In Japan a Ronin was a Samurai without a master. Samurai were normally under the command of a Daimyos . Some Samurai could loose there Daimyo by war . It was hard to find a another Daimyo especially in the Tokugawa Shogunate because the Tokugawa Shogunate put an end to there civil wars. Because a Ronin had no master they had no income coming in so some of them would form bandit gangs.

The Samurai women
In Japan the male was the most dominant. Before the male was the most dominant there were a small number of female rulers. It was thought that a man should be at the head of the family to protect the house and land. Women of the samurai class were brought up to believe they had little freedom. It was a woman's duty to serve three masters: her father, her husband and her son, and home life was the focus of her career. A man could divorce his wife and send her back to her parents simply by saying she was unhealthy or unable to have children. The only escape for a woman was to seek refuge in a temple and become a nun, where if she stayed for at least two years she could obtain a divorce.
