Amano, Masako
Higher Education, v34 n2 p215-35 Sep 1997
The high level of college admission of women in Japan is analyzed relative to changes in social and educational values, continuing evidence of gender tracking, persistent doubts regarding "appropriateness" of higher education for women, employment opportunities and related national legislation, and values held by Japanese women themselves about education and social status. Emergence of women's studies courses are also discussed. (Author/MSE)
