Early modern Japan was a military-bureaucratic state governed by
patriarchal and patrilineal principles and laws. During this time,
however, women had considerable power to directly affect social
structure, political practice, and economic production. This
apparent contradiction between official norms and experienced
realities lies at the heart of The Problem of Women in Early Modern
Japan. Examining prescriptive literature and instructional manuals
for women-as well as diaries, memoirs, and letters written by and
about individual women from the late seventeenth century to the
early nineteenth century-Marcia Yonemoto explores the dynamic
nature of Japanese women's lives during the early modern era.
