The Handbook of Modern and Contemporary Japanese Women Writers offers a comprehensive
overview of women writers in Japan, from the late 19th century to the early 21st.
Featuring 24 newly written contributions from scholars in the field-representing expertise
from North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia-the Handbook introduces and analyzes
works by modern and contemporary women writers that coalesce loosely around common
themes, tropes, and genres. Putting writers from different generations in conversation
with one another reveals the diverse ways they have responded to similar subjects.
Whereas women writers may have shared concerns-the pressure to conform to gendered
expectation, the tension between family responsibility and individual interests, the
quest for self-affirmation-each writer invents her own approach. As readers will see,
we have writers who turn to memoir and autobiography, while others prefer to imagine
fabulous fictional worlds. Some engage with the literary classics-whether Japanese,
Chinese, or European-and invest their works with rich intertextual allusions. Other
writers grapple with colonialism, militarism, nationalism, and industrialization.
This Handbook builds a foundation which invites readers to launch their own investigations
into women's writing in Japan
