Working Women of Japan   By: (1860-1945)

Book cover

Working Women of Japan by Sidney Lewis Gulick is an insightful and thought-provoking journey into the lives of Japanese women in the early 20th century. Published in 1915, this book offers a vivid and detailed account of the social and cultural realities faced by working women in a rapidly changing society.

Gulick, an American missionary and scholar, exhibits immense respect and empathy for the women he encounters, which is evident throughout the book. His deep understanding of the Japanese culture allows him to portray these women in a nuanced and authentic manner, emphasizing their strength, resilience, and determination.

One of the most striking aspects of this book is how Gulick challenges prevailing stereotypes and misconceptions about women's roles in Japanese society. He presents a multifaceted picture of working women, highlighting their diverse backgrounds, occupations, and aspirations. From factory workers to teachers, nurses to office clerks, each woman's story is told with sensitivity and respect.

Gulick also delves into the economic and socio-political factors that shape the lives of these women. He critically examines the working conditions, wages, and opportunities available to them, shedding light on the challenges they face within a male-dominated society. Moreover, he skillfully analyzes the effects of Western influence and modernization on gender roles and expectations.

What stands out about this book is the author's dedication to shedding light on the lives of working-class women. Gulick tirelessly conducted interviews, collected data, and researched extensively to provide an accurate and comprehensive account of their struggles and triumphs. His commitment to accuracy and authenticity is commendable, making this a valuable resource for anyone interested in women's history or Japanese society.

While the book was written over a century ago, many of the issues raised remain relevant today. The exploration of gender inequality, the pressures of work-life balance, and the challenges faced by working mothers resonate with the experiences of women in contemporary society. Gulick's work serves as a reminder that progress has been made, but there is still much work to be done to achieve true gender equality.

Working Women of Japan is a captivating and illuminating read. Gulick's engaging writing style and his poignant storytelling make this book both informative and emotionally resonant. It is a testament to the author's empathy and dedication, as well as his deep admiration for the remarkable women he encountered. Without a doubt, this book is a valuable addition to any library and an excellent resource for those interested in women's history, Japanese culture, or social change.
