Starting from the premise that gender is not a biological given, but is socially constructed and culturally transmitted, the authors describe the forces of change in the construction of female gender and explore the gap between the ideal of womanhood and the reality of Japanese women's lives. Most of all, the contributors speak to the diversity that has characterized women's experience in Japan. This is an imaginative, pioneering work, offering an interdisciplinary approach that will encourage a reconsideration of the paradigms of women's history, hitherto rooted in the Western experience.ACLS Humanities E-Book.WomenEmploymentJapanHistoryFeminismJapanHistoryWomenJapanHistoryWomenEmploymentHistory.FeminismHistory.WomenHistory.305.42/0952Bernstein Gail Leeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996247924303316Recreating Japanese Women, 1600-19452366606UNISA
