Beschreibung

This volume applies a gender-sensitive perspective on Japan, discussing
issues such as national identity, the changing appeal of role models,
legacies of a misogynous past, gendered education policies, female imaging
in the media, or working women’s networks. The transnational dimension of
this perspective is highlighted by comparisons drawn between Japan and
other countries of the region such as Philippines and South Korea. Authors
attend to concepts of gender and gendered identities as well as to actors
within gendered spaces of society.
