Description

This book is the first to explore the similarities and differences in gender-related policy making and outcomes in Japan and the U.S., concentrating on the areas of equal employment, domestic violence, and reproductive rights, with additional attention to gender equality policy in Japan and "family friendly policy" in both nations. It analyzes the significance of international feminism and new standards of gender equity--kansetsu gaiatsu--as a resource for Japanese feminists seeking policy reform, as well as new trends toward policy cooperation.
