About the product

Japan's explosive transformation from a primarily agrarian society to a highly industrialized modern nation has been the subject in recent years of a great deal of interest and study, particularly in the newly industrializing countries. Spanning the period from the early stages of Japanese industrialization to the post-war years, this unique study provides an account of how new technology up until the Second World War resulted in the replacement of women workers by machines, while technological innovation after the war created employment opportunities for women.
