The study of gender relations has been relatively neglected in Japanese history and politics and has rarely included a serious consideration of feminism as a movement. Against this backdrop, Vera Mackie provides the first detailed study of the development of feminist thought in Japan.This account of feminism through the twentieth century interweaves a complex range of themes that are attentive to the complexity of women's lives and experiences within the larger context of Japanese political and social change. Mackie's book will be a welcomed addition to the literature on Japan and on women's history.
