Description

This scholarly work examines the overlooked histories of women marginalised by Japanese imperial ideology, analysing their experiences through literature and film. Rather than perpetuating male-dominated narratives of empire-building, the book centres on sex workers, entertainers, hostesses, and hibakusha-women who resisted or could not conform to the state-enforced ideal of "good wives, wise mothers." Using interdisciplinary sources, the author reconstructs fragmentary historical records to give voice to those excluded from official accounts of the Japanese empire. The study challenges conventional feminist scholarship that portrays women primarily as collaborators, instead revealing the complex agency and resistance of women on the margins. Essential for scholars of Japanese history, gender studies, postcolonial theory, and film studies seeking nuanced understanding of how imperial ideologies shaped and displaced women's lives.

Key Features

The book analyses primary materials from Japanese literature and film to reconstruct marginalised women's experiences during the imperial period.

Routledge publication centres overlooked figures including sex workers, entertainers, hostesses, and hibakusha survivors in Japanese imperial history.

The work challenges male-dominated narratives by examining women who resisted the "good wives, wise mothers" ideology supporting empire-building.
