Sommario/riassunto

Based on research over a six-year period into three age groups of women, this important new study offers in depth analysis for the first time of the experience of expatriate Japanese wives living temporarily in the United Kingdom. It focuses on the roles of the ‘housewife’ in the context of the changing status of women in contemporary Japan.
