Description

Forget the stereotypes. Today’s Japanese women are shattering them -- breaking the bonds of tradition and transforming their culture. Chambers has found that Japanese women have kicked off a revolution in their country. In the face of still-fierce sexism, a new breed of women is breaking through the “rice paper ceiling” of Japan’s salary-man dominated corporate culture. The women are traveling the world and returning with a sophistication that is injecting a stylish internationalism into Japanese life. So many women are delaying marriage into their thirties that the country’s birth rate is in crisis. Chambers introduces these “kickboxing geishas” and the stories of their lives, revealing the vibrant and dynamic true story of the Japanese women we’ve never met.
