The theme of \"modern girls\" continues to offer a captivating window into the changes that women's roles have undergone during the course of the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere we encounter Japanese women inhabiting the most modern of spaces, in newly created professions, moving upward and outward, claiming the public life as their own: shop girls, elevator girls, dance hall dancers, tour bus guides, airline stewardesses, international beauty queens, overseas teachers, corporate soccer players, and even female members of the Self-Defense Forces. Directly linking gender, mobility, and labor in 20th and 21st century Japan, this collection brings to life the ways in which these modern girls--historically and contemporaneously--have influenced social roles, patterns of daily life, and Japan's global image. It is an ideal guidebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alisa Freedman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804781141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804781145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2013","brand":"Alisa Freedman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988270743807,"sku":"9780804781145","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf02f859-eb52-411f-8898-849aec906362.jpg?v=1683293586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-girls-on-the-go-alisa-freedman-9780804781145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
