Product Description
Book Description
Who's to blame for Japan's shrinking birthrate? Too often, politicians and the media pin the blame on young women, whom they call "parasite singles" for living with their parents. Japanese females need to return to their roles as "good wives and wise mothers," the argument goes.

Sumie Kawakami destroys this line of thinking through intimate portraits of women, all in their own way struggling under the country's contorted views of female sexuality.

Women deal with meddling mothers-in-law, coddled momma's-boy husbands, and a society that did not officially outlaw sexual discrimination until 1999. The result is often sexual dysfunction and physical and emotional abuse behind closed doors.

Kawakami shines a light on these troubled relationships and finds a surprising amount of inspiration as women talk of their struggles to find equilibrium and their hopes for a brighter future.

About the Author
Sumie Kawakami is a Japanese journalist and single mother who has written extensively on marriage and sex, including a 2004 book titled Tsuma no Koi (Wives in Love) with Astra, Inc., and three essays in Kuhaku & Other Accounts from Japan (Chin Music Press, 2005).
