The Japanese Woman: Traditional Image and Changing Reality

by Sumiko Iwao

In a contemporary study of women in Japan, Sumiko Iwao (psychology, Keio U., Tokyo) shows that these women are not the submissive females typically portrayed, but rather that they hold positions equal to and sometimes more powerful than those of men.

Nice way to understand the different reality of the japanese woman and how year by year the influence of the western world is changing the behavior and perception of women in Japan.
