概要 | Presenting a vivid social history of "the new woman" who emerged in Japanese culture between the world wars, The New Japanese Woman shows how images of modern women burst into Japanese life in the mid...t of the urbanization, growth of the middle class, and explosion of consumerism resulting from the postwar economic boom, particularly in the 1920s. Barbara Sato analyzes the icons that came to represent the new urban femininity -- the "modern girl," the housewife, and the professional working woman. She describes how these images portrayed in the media shaped and were shaped by women's desires. Although the figures of the modern woman by no means represented all Japanese women, they challenged the myth of a fixed definition of femininity -- particularly the stereotype emphasizing gentleness and meekness -- and generated a new set of possibilities for middle-class women within the context of consumer culture.
