Are Japanese women happy with their roles as wives and mothers, content to leave the stress of 14-hour days in offices and commuter trains to men? Or are they frustrated by the limitations of this traditional arrangement? The author tackles these questions and others as she explores the daily lives and the hopes and aspirations of dynamic Japanese women. Based on hundreds of interviews, the book looks at the many facets of women's lives, including education, marriage and child rearing, the workplace and the political arena. The interviews are complemented by readings of a diverse and compelling range of stories and novels by and about Japanese women.

Author of numerous books, Patricia Morley is Professor Emerita of English and Canadian Studies at Concordia University and is a Lifetime Honorary Fellow at the Simone de Beauvoir Institute.

Engaging and useful" -National Women's Studies Association Journal "May be the most comprehensive treatment of issues faced by Japanese women today available in the English language. Her intertwining of contemporary fiction, interviews, and socioeconomic data is most welcome. The extended attention to care of the elderly should be of special interest in many parts of the world today." -Norma Field,Professor and Chair, Department of East Asian Languagesand Civilizations, University of Chicago
