This lucid, hard-hitting book explores a central paradox of the Japanese economy:
the relegation of women to low-paying, dead-end jobs in a workforce that depends
on their labor to maintain its status as a world economic leader. Drawing upon historical
materials, survey and statistical data, and extensive interviews in Japan, Mary Brinton
provides an in-depth and original examination of the role of gender in Japan's phenomenal
postwar economic growth.
