The theme of "modern girls" continues to offer a captivating window into the changes that women's roles have undergone during the course of the last century. Here we encounter Japanese women inhabiting the most modern of spaces, in newly created professions, moving upward and outward, claiming the public life as their own: shop girls, elevator girls, dance hall dancers, tour bus guides, airline stewardesses, international beauty queens, overseas teachers, corporate soccer players, and even female members of the Self-Defense Forces. Directly linking gender, mobility, and labor in 20th and 21st century Japan, this collection brings to life the ways in which these modern girls?historically and contemporaneously?have influenced social roles, patterns of daily life, and Japan's global image. It is an ideal guidebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike. 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zJapan$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aSocial mobility$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial mobility$zJapan$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aSex role$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSex role$zJapan$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y21st century 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment$xHistory 615 0$aSocial mobility$xHistory 615 0$aSocial mobility$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 676 $a331.40952 701 $aFreedman$b Alisa$01462384 701 $aMiller$b Laura$f1953-$01477001 701 $aYano$b Christine Reiko$0690278 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786121703321 996 $aModern girls on the go$93825443 997 $aUNINA
