This spirited and engaging multidisciplinary volume pins its focus
on the lived experiences and cultural depictions of women's
mobility and labor in Japan. The theme of modern girls continues to
offer a captivating window into the changes that women's roles have
undergone during the course of the last century.
Here we encounter Japanese women inhabiting the most modern of
spaces, in newly created professions, moving upward and outward,
claiming the public life as their own: shop girls, elevator girls,
dance hall dancers, tour bus guides, airline stewardesses,
international beauty queens, overseas teachers, corporate soccer
players, and even female members of the Self-Defense Forces.
Directly linking gender, mobility, and labor in 20th and 21st
century Japan, this collection brings to life the ways in which
these modern girlsOCohistorically and contemporaneouslyOCohave
influenced social roles, patterns of daily life, and Japan's global
image. It is an ideal guidebook for students, scholars, and general
readers alike.
