“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.” Women
and Class in Japanese History 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. Their
conclusions, presented in the fourteen essays in this volume, will attract
people interested both in the history of Japan and the history of women. Published by Center
for Japanese Studies, University of Michigan |
