The Other Women's Lib: Gender and Body in Japanese Women's Fiction

Presents an analysis of Japanese literary feminist discourse of the 1960s - a decade before the 'women's lib' movement emerged in Japan. This book highlights the work of three female fiction writers of this generation (Kono Taeko, Takahashi Takako, and Kurahashi Yumiko) for their avant-grade literary challenges to dominant models of femininity.
