Women’s periodicals increasingly influenced intellectual discourse, the literary establishment, and daily life. \u003cem\u003eTurning Pages\u003c\/em\u003e makes sense of this phenomenon through a detailed analysis of major interwar women’s magazines, especially the \u003cem\u003eliterary journal Ladies’ Review\u003c\/em\u003e, the popular domestic periodical \u003cem\u003eHousewife’s Friend\u003c\/em\u003e, and the politically radical magazine \u003cem\u003eWomen’s Arts\u003c\/em\u003e. Through a close examination of their literature, articles, advertising, and art, the book explores the magazines as both windows onto and actors in this vibrant period of Japanese history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTurning Pages\u003c\/em\u003e considers the central place of representations of women for women in the culture of interwar-era Japan and our understanding of Japanese modernity. Taking a holistic approach to the texts and using tools of historical, literary, and cultural analysis, the author examines the triangular relationship among the consumers, the producers, and the texts themselves.","brand":"University of Hawai'i Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54190097400152,"sku":null,"price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/turning-pages-reading-and-writing-womens-magazines-in-interwar-japan","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
