Rice Bowl Women: Writings By and About the Women of China and Japan

The short stories and memoirs in this magnificent collection represent some of the finest flowerings of the immensely rich literatures of China and Japan. Even more, they offer unique insight into the lives women lived and the odds they faced in the male-dominated societies of these two countries for over thirteen hundred years —right up to the tensions and turmoils of the struggle between tradition and liberation. This collection captures the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of women who can be called heroines in the truest sense of the word.
