In Women's Performative Writing and Identity Construction in the
Japanese Empire, the author examines how writers captured various
experiences of living under imperialism in their fiction and
nonfiction works. Through an examination of texts by writers
producing in different parts of the empire (including the Japanese
metropole and the colonies and territories of Taiwan, Korea, and
Manchukuo), the book explores how women negotiated the social and
personal changes brought about by modernization of the social
institutions of education, marriage, family, and labor. Looking at
works by writers including young students in Manchukuo, Japanese
writer Hani Motoko, Korean writer Chang Tok-cho, and Taiwanese
writer Yang Ch'ien-Ho, the book sheds light upon how the act and
product of writing became a site for women to articulate their
hopes and desires while also processing sociopolitical
expectations. The author argues that women used their practice of
writing to construct their sense of self. The book ultimately shows
us how the words we write make us who we are.
