Features: Throughout the history of women worldwide, women in various countries have experienced a largely similar developmental process.

When they lost their power and status plummeted, the psychological ( means "fall" or "decline" here) could be imagined. 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 way.
