Ever since Japan and the West discovered one another, Western observers have extolled the surface virtues of Japanese women but attended very little to what they are really like. In this new, balanced view of the role of Japanese women in their country's swiftly changing society, The Hidden Sun: Women of Modern Japan destroys the Western stereotype of the shy, perhaps slightly coquettish, doll-like figure and replaces it with a sober, realistic portrait of a woman whose attitudes and activities influence the policies and trends of modern Japan, both domestically and internationally.
A foreign service officer in the U.S. Information Agency (USIA) since 1963, Dr. Dorothy Robins-Mowry has served overseas in Japan and Iran. From 1963 to 1971 she was chief of educational exchanges, cultural programs officer, and women's activities officer in the U.S. Information Service in Tokyo. She currently holds the position of policy officer in USIA for the Office of North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. In 1980 and 1981 Dr. Robins-Mowry was visiting professor of political science at the University of Maryland, teaching courses on women and politics.
