Rethinking Japanese Feminisms offers a broad overview of the great
diversity of feminist thought and practice in Japan from the early
twentieth century to the present. Drawing on methodologies and
approaches from anthropology, cultural studies, gender and
sexuality studies, history, literature, media studies, and
sociology, each chapter presents the results of research based on
some combination of original archival research, careful textual
analysis, ethnographic interviews, and participant observation. The
volume is organized into sections focused on activism and
activists, employment and education, literature and the arts, and
boundary crossing. Some chapters shed light on ideas and practices
that resonate with feminist thought but find expression through the
work of writers, artists, activists, and laborers who have not
typically been considered feminist; others revisit specific moments
in the history of Japanese feminisms in order to complicate or
challenge the dominant scholarly and popular understandings of
specific activists, practices, and beliefs. The chapters are
contextualized by an introduction that offers historical background
on feminisms in Japan, and a forward-looking conclusion that
considers what it means to rethink Japanese feminism at this
historical juncture. Building on more than four decades of
scholarship on feminisms in Japanese and English, as well as
decades more on women’s history, Rethinking Japanese Feminisms
offers a diverse and multivocal approach to scholarship on Japanese
feminisms unmatched by existing publications. Written in language
accessible to students and non-experts, it will be at home in the
hands of students and scholars, as well as activists and others
interested in gender, sexuality, and feminist theory and activism
in Japan and in Asia more broadly.
