Title: Turning Pages
Description: "Turning Pages makes sense of Japanese "ladies' magazines" through a detailed analysis of several interwar magazines, including the literary journal Ladies' Review, the popular domestic periodical Housewife's Friend, and the politically radical magazine Women's Arts. Through a close examination of their literature, articles, advertising, and art, the book explores the magazines as both windows onto and actors in this period of Japanese history. Women's magazines in modern Japanese literature were significant not only for the opportunities they afforded women writers but also for their often underestimated institutional and financial support of the literary community as a whole. This book will be of interest to students of Japanese literature, women's studies, and modern history."--BOOK JACKET.
