This collection of essays is a comprehensive study of the
""father-daughter dynamic"" in Japanese female literary experience.
Its contributors examine the ways in which women have been placed
politically, ideologically, and symbolically as ""daughters"" in a
culture that venerates ""the father"". They weigh the impact that
this daughterly position has had on both the performance and
production of women's writing from the classical period to the
present. Conjoining the classical and the modern with a unified
theme reveals an important continuum in female authorship-a
historical approach often ignored by scholars. The essays devoted
to the literature of the classical period discuss canonical texts
in a new light, offering important feminist readings that challenge
existing scholarship, while those dedicated to modern writers
introduce readers to little-known texts with translations and
readings that are engaging and original.
