"Hiromi Tsuchiya Dollase examines the role that magazines have played in the creation
and development of the concept of shōjo, the modern cultural identity of adolescent
Japanese girls. Cloaked in the pages of girls' magazines, writers could effectively
express their desires for freedom from and resistance against oppressive cultural
conventions. Shōjo characters' "immature" qualities and social marginality gave authors
the power to express their thoughts without worrying about the reaction of authorities.
Age of Shōjo details the transformation of Japanese girls' fiction from the 1900s
to the 1980s, including the adaptation of Western stories such as Louis May Alcott's
Little Women in the Meiji period; the emergence of young female writers in the 1910s
and the flourishing girls' fiction era of the 1920s and 1930s; the changes wrought
by state interference during the war; and a new era of empowered post-war fiction.
The book highlights seminal author Yoshiya Nobuko's dreamy fantasies and Kitagawa
Chiyo's social realism, Morita Tama's autobiographical feminism, the contributions
of Nobel Prize winning author Kawabata Yasunari, and the humorous modern fiction of
Himuro Saeko and Tanabe Seiko. These authors address social topics such as education,
same-sex love, feminism, and socialism using girls' perspectives. The age of shōjo,
which began at the turn of the twentieth century, continues to nurture new generations
of writers and entice audiences beyond age, gender, and nationality"
