While state feminism theory possesses a strong capability to examine state-society relationships in terms of feminist policymaking, it tends to neglect a state's activity in improving women's status and rights in non-western nations where the feminist movements are apathetic or antagonistic to the state and where the state also creates a vertical relationship with feminist groups.East Asia (New York, N.Y.)Women's rightsJapanWomenGovernment policyJapanWomenEmploymentLaw and legislationJapanElectronic books.Women's rightsWomenGovernment policyWomenEmploymentLaw and legislation305.42/0952Kobayashi Yoshie1955,950643MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450209403321A path toward gender equality2149322UNINA
