Creating Socialist Women in Japan: Gender, Labour and Activism, 1900–1937

by Vera Mackie

This book tells the inspiring story of a group of women who challenged the expectations of their society in their writings and in their actions. Vera Mackie surveys the development of socialist women's activism in Japan from the 1900s to the 1930s, in the broader context of the industrial and political development of modern Japan. She outlines the major socialist womens' organizations and their debates with their liberal and anarchist sisters. The book also offers close analyses of the political and creative writings of socialist women.

[Enrique Mora Roás · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este libro es un antes y un después en los estudios del socialismo y género en Japón. Ya no en su intersección sino individualmente. El trabajo de Mackie es impecable y rico conceptualmente. Con un desarrollo clarísimo por décadas que no deja atrás la complejidad de los periodos, especialmente en las divisiones en las décadas de 1910 y 1920.
