Exciting... This book is an important and refreshing addition to
the existing work on Japanese language and gender. It not only
scrutinizes the language and gender topic from a newer and broader
perspective but it also aims at and succeeds in showing the reader
that Japanese language and gender research is a continuous dynamic
rather than a sequence of unrelated stages. In addition to these,
the book also introduces the reader to the work of a number of key
Japanese scholars who have influenced the research on language and
gender in Japan and put it on a sounder, more innovative track but
whose work has not been readily available in English. ...fresh,
interesting, and groundbreaking.
