This unique collection of essays gives a broad, interdisciplinary view of contemporary Japanese women while challenging readers to see the development of Japanese womens lives against the backdrop of domestic and global change.These essays provide a second generation analysis of roles, issues and social change. The collection brings up to date the work begun in Gail Lee Bernsteins Recreating Japanese Women, 1600-1945 (California, 1991), exploring disparities between the current range of images of Japanese women and the reality behind the choices women make.
