Japanese fiction is just now getting the attention it deserves in
the English-speaking world. This study, a rich history of the
evolving role of women fiction writers in Japanese, provides
annotations for 300 translated works of fiction by 97 Japanese
women writers from the 1890s through the 1990s. More than 600
annotations of articles, books, and reviews chronicle women writers
in Japanese society, while bibliographical sources provide coverage
of their lives with an immediacy not possible in general sources.
An informative time line covers the key historical, political and
economic events, as well as the people that shaped the contours of
women's lives. An index of issues addressed in the fiction helps
readers identify appropriate works dealing with subjects such as
aging, the effects of the Atomic bomb, attitudes towards the family
system, discrimination against "burakumin," the lifestyle of
"shinjinrui" (those born after 1960), or roles of artists and
women. A 100-page glossary providing definitions, background
information and suggestions for future reading and research is
included. Scholars, teachers, and students of Japanese literature,
comparative literature, and women's studies will find this work to
be an invaluable reference tool. The material will also be of
interest to those in other fields such as history, sociology,
education, and political science who are interested in comparing
cultures and societies.
