Women and Democracy in Cold War Japan offers a fresh perspective on
gender politics by focusing on the Japanese housewife of the 1950s
as a controversial representation of democracy, leisure, and
domesticity. Examining the shifting personae of the housewife,
especially in the appealing texts of women's magazines, reveals the
diverse possibilities of postwar democracy as they were embedded in
media directed toward Japanese women. Each chapter explores the
contours of a single controversy, including debate over the royal
wedding in 1959, the victory of Japan's first Miss Universe, and
the unruly desires of postwar women. Jan Bardsley also takes a
comparative look at the ways in which the Japanese housewife is
measured against equally stereotyped notions of the modern
housewife in the United States, asking how both function as
narratives of Japan-U.S. relations and gender/class containment
during the early Cold War.
