我们去往何方：身体、身份和个人价值
何为女性主义？ 怎样才称得上女性主义者？ 女性主义从何而来？ 女性主义浪潮的来龙去脉到底是什么？ 无法预测的未来，女性主义何去何从？ ……
如今，女性主义的版图已遍及世界。每个国家的女权发展，也都走出了一条拥有自身特色的探索之路。
了解这段历史，对当今从事女权实践，以及被全球的女性主义浪潮所激励、鼓舞的人来说，必定会成为一种助力。了解历史对任何人来说，都能够有所助益。
那些我们视其为“传统”或“天经地义”的东西，一律能在历史之中找到起点和源头，而事物一旦有开端，就必定有终结。
我希望，我的年轻后继者们，也能对女性主义的历史做些深入的了解；并且，最好把知识点以一种“盘点打包”的形式呈上，方便她们阅读和理解。基于这样的初衷，我动笔创作了本书。

About the author
Chizuko Ueno
129 books277 followersChizuko Ueno is a Japanese sociologist and Japan's "best-known feminist".
Her research field includes feminist theory, family sociology, and women's history. She is best known for her contribution to gender studies in Japan. As a public intellectual, she played a central role in creating the field of gender studies in Japanese academia. At the same time, her radical tendency and strong character has invited criticism (she described herself as "critical, assertive, and disobedient").
Ueno is a trenchant critic of postwar revisionism and criticizes the whitewashing of Japanese history, which she claims attempts to justify its colonialism, wartime atrocities, and racism both before and after World War II. In particular, she has defended the compensation of Korean comfort women who were forced into prostitution by the Empire of Japan.

A introductory history and social textbook about feminism in Japan (of course the world as well), very easy to read. It simply summarizes author's experience and opinions. Easy for new entry.
The first wave of feminism is social-oriental, demanding equal social rights as defined by laws. The second wave is to liberate women as general combined with men. The third wave is younger generations seeking individual liberation. And the forth, perhaps we are entering already, is to diversity and inclusiveness.
In the end, it ends with "フェミニズムは弱者が弱者のままで尊重されることを求める思想です" which is simply but significantly highlighting author's thought.
