Publisher's Synopsis

The Mountain Is Moving describes postwar Japanese society and the roles that women are expected to play within it. Based on interviews with hundreds of women, the book examines the education of women, marriage and child rearing, work outside the house, caring for the elderly, political power or lack of it, and volunteerism. Morley also examines a diverse and compelling range of stories and novels by and about Japanese women, revealing both patterns and exceptions.
