Description
Contrary to popular perceptions of premodern Japanese women as oppressed and subjugated by patriarchal norms, this work contends that when we read texts by and about women written between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, we see a broad and complex picture of women's lives, one in which women were far from passive or powerless. Instead, women were seen as active participants in society who could effect both positive and negative change.
