Gender Difference In Japan

Abstract: 11 pages in length. Throughout Japan's history, women have typically been represented as a combination of an oppressed yet liberated gender, inasmuch as there have long existed significant patriarchal overtones. While there has historically been a certain population of Japanese women who have held high social position due to their business or personal relations, the primary focus has long rested upon those women who, by way of patriarchal influence, sought to break free from such constraints. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
