"Finally--a comprehensive account of the origination and implementation of feminism in Japan! Mackie meticulously uncovers the various females who led sociopolitical movements and their sometimes conflicting causes from the last quarter of the 19th century to the present. An invaluable contribution to the corpus of texts documenting femininist life internationally. Highly recommended." Choice

Karen Lee Callahan, Journal of Asian History

Book Description
Feminism in Modern Japan is a pathbreaking book which traces the history of feminism in Japan from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. In a country where women were ascribed the role of 'good wives and wise mothers', the author offers a fascinating account of those who struck out against convention in the dissemination of liberal ideas. This carefully documented analysis will be welcomed by students in the field and by those in related areas where nothing comparable is currently available.
