The women's voices heard here share a commitment to feminism, but the book highlights the multiplicity of perspectives and approaches to dealing with the political, economic, military, cultural, and sexual discrimination against women.
Women often ask how they can become more global in their approaches to feminism.
This book helps us to answer these questions. It is the kind of collection that I long for from every country in the world. It includes a wide array of diverse voices from a rural farmer to a lesbian translator, from lawyers to artists and trade unionists. These authentic and sometimes eloquent voices deserve to be heard. Should be in all libraries that give attention to global women's issues, and in any collection that seeks to be current on Japanese social life.
