"This sociolinguistic critique examines the representation of women in traditional Japanese language and culture. Derogatory and highly-sexualized terms are placed in historical context, and the progress of non-sexist language reform is reviewed. Central to this work are the voices of Japanese women who took part in a survey, expressing their thoughts and concerns regarding gender representations"--Provided by publisher.
