5.0 out of 5 stars
A great treatment of issues facing Japanese women today,
By Lady Murasaki (Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mountain is Moving: Japanese Women's Lives (Hardcover)
In this highly enjoyable and informative work, Patricia Morley examines the many roles Japanese women play in their society. Through her hundreds of interviews and her analyses of literary works written by and about Japanese women, Morley explores important themes like education, marriage and childrearing, employment, caring for the elderly, politics, volunteerism, and women writers. I found Chapters 7 and 8 to be especially interesting. Throughout the work, she emphasizes that while Japanese women are changing rapidly, their society still holds on to traditions that have oppressed them. What is also great about Morley is that while she focuses on women, she also recognizes that to study women you often need to explore how society treats men as well.
