Long stifled by their country's patriarchal system, they began to seek out avenues of self-definition and self-expression." "One clear signal of change was a burst of literary activity by women. Some writers reached beyond the traditional styles considered suitable for women, and by the time of the liberal Taisho period (1912-1926), Japan's women writers were leading the way to a new era of literary expression." "This study examines both famous and little known writers of the Meiji and Taisho periods, within the context of their era and as influences on today's women writers."--Jacket. ER -
