Focuses on Japan's interwar textile industry, where female factory workers were constructed as "women" rather than as "workers". This work gives an analysis of gender ideology and ideologies of nationalism and ethnicity, showing how this discourse on women's wage work produced and reflected anxieties about women's social roles in modern Japan.
