The book focuses on how economic developments changed the everyday lives of ordinary women in early-modern and modern Japan. Different from precedent gender studies, the spotlight here is on the daily activities and structural positions of women rather than feminist movements or activities of elite women. Using demography, anthropometrics, and labour economics, this book explicates childcare, physical development of girls, and women?s labour migration. The dynamics of ordinary women in prewar Japan may change deep-rooted images of women as oppressed beings. Using quantitative data multi-dimensionally with the latest statistical analysis methods, this book shows how Japanese economic historians can contribute to historians of gender and family who are interested in early-modern and modern Japan. The first part consists of four chapters that discuss women migrant workers in the Tokugawa period, women?s work, and family strategies in the underdeveloped regions of the country, conflicts between child-rearing and women?s work on family farms, and living standards of teenaged girls in early twentieth-century Japan. Those chapters provide a bridge between economic historians and feminist historians and articulate new research fields for both. The second part, comprising four book reviews, illustrates how the gender concept has been adopted in family and gender historiography in Japan. 410 0$aMonograph Series of the Socio-Economic History Society, Japan,$x2364-2394 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aJapan?History 606 $aDemography 606 $aCulture?Economic aspects 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aHistory of Japan$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020 606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 606 $aGender and Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W51010 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aJapan?History. 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aCulture?Economic aspects. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 615 24$aDemography. 615 24$aGender and Economics. 676 $a305.420952 702 $aOkuda$b Nobuko$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTakai$b Tetsuhiko$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910357820703321 996 $aGender and Family in Japan$92278630 997 $aUNINA
