- Description
- This book explores how women writers in Japan heve been received and read in Japan. To appreciate the subterfuges, strategies, and choices that the modern Japanese woman writer has faced, readers must consider the criticisms leveled against her, the expectations and admonitions that have been whispered in her ear, and pay attention to the way she herself has responded. The question is what it meant to be a woman writer in twentieth-century Japan and how she was defined and how this definition limited her artistic sphere.
