Steel Butterflies: Japanese Women and the American Experience
examines the role of women in Japan as compared to the United
States, approaching the subject from a new and thought-provoking
angle. Not only does the reader learn how Japanese women view their
own country from the vantage point of living in the United States,
but their candid remarks also give Americans the opportunity to see
themselves as others see them.
Some of the topics discussed include education; ethics; the
freedom -- as well as the problems -- of living in the United
States; why Japanese women both envy and feel sorry for American
women; and the past and future status of women in Japan. Steel
Butterflies examines family life, women's responsibility in the
home, community involvement both here and in Japan, aspects of
Japanese culture they tried to keep alive in America, and their
children's experiences. Grounded in thorough research, the book
offers new insights into Japanese ways of thinking from those who
have experienced both cultures.
