Abstract
Women and men in Japan, from the late nineteenth century to the present, have experienced the tensions between identity, social expectations, cultural constructions of masculinity and femininity, legal definitions of maleness and femaleness, and the biological features which have been thought to underpin the legal definitions. It has been the task of feminist critics and activists to reveal the workings of gendered ideologies, and the effects of state policies on the lives of actual men and women.
