Features: Throughout the history of women worldwide, women in various countries have experienced a roughly similar developmental process. However, the decline of maternal authority among Japanese women came later than in other countries. As a result, in history, Japanese women had a period of considerable brilliance. When they lost their power and status plummeted, the psychological ( means a sharp decline or drop, but in this context, it's better to translate it as "fall" or "decline") was understandably immense. This book attempts to dispel the fog of history, trace their origins, and see how Japanese women have surged and tumbled in the waves of history, how social transformations have gradually stripped them of their power, eroded their dignity, and tamed their nature; and how they have lived, loved, and created, influencing history in their own ways.
