  In large corporations in Japan, much of the clerical work is carried out by young women known as 'office ladies' (OLs). They are exempt from the traditional lifetime employment and have few opportunities for promotion. This work exposes the ways that these women resist men's power, and why the men often subject themselves to the women's control.
