Summary:

This approachable and absorbing book offers a unique window into Japanese culture and language. Highlighting the overlooked world of the 'silent majority, ' the housewives and mothers who are the mainstay of Japanese society, this work tells the stories of ordinary women in their own voices. An annotated translation of a Japanese bestseller, the volume explores the daily communication of Japanese women and what their words tell us about their relationships and lives in a globalized, postindustrial, yet still often male-dominated Japan
