Im Married to the Company!

Highlighting the overlooked world of the silent majority, the housewives and mothers who are the mainstay of Japanese society, this work tells the stories of ordinary women in their own voices. An annotated translation of a Japanese bestseller, the volume explores the daily communication of Japanese women and what their words tell us about their relationships and lives in a globalized, post-industrial, yet still often male-dominated Japan.Ito, Masako is the author of 'Im Married to the Company!', published 2007 under ISBN 9780742554634 and ISBN 0742554635.
