Feminism in Modern Japan is a pathbreaking book which traces the history of feminist thought and women's activism in Japan from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. The author offers a fascinating account of those who struck out against convention in the dissemination of liberal ideas.

This 1997 book analyses the writings of Japanese socialist women in order to explore the place and perspectives of women there early in the twentieth century. It argues that the development of capitalism in Japan opened up discourses around feminism and socialism within which women tried to find a voice.
