  Presenting a social history of the new woman that emerged in Japanese culture between the world wars, this title shows how images of modern women burst into Japanese life in the midst of the urbanization, growth of the middle class, and explosion of consumerism resulting from the postwar economic boom, particularly in the 1920s.
