Reviews

The book makes a huge contribution to research on gender equality which is a pressing issue in Japan and is increasingly attracting considerable attention in government, media, business, academia, and society. This publication is highly focused and comprehensive yet condensed and well integrated. As such, it is an outstanding work, rich in detail and sophisticated in analysis.
