This relaxed and purposeful exploration of today's Japanese women and their ways of life breaks through the superficial conventional stereotypes. Since 2000, the author has enjoyed spending time in Japan where she has observed and interviewed women of many occupations and backgrounds. She shows how they live in a society where women's roles are changing and now women themselves are changing that society in unforeseeable ways.
