This volume marks an important moment not only in the study of gender and women in Japanese society but also in the development of collaborative efforts between Japanese and western scholars on the subject. It is a product of half a decade of international seminars and discussions held among scholars of various disciplines and perspectives who share the goal of promoting a better understanding of the historical and contemporary constructions of gender in Japan.
"'Every contribution is solid.... Having examined social fields particular to women, the contributors take a fresh perspective in revisiting the place of women in broad social, political, and economic contexts. The essays break important new ground both empirically and conceptually.' (David Howell in Journal of Japanese Studies)."
