Summary: "Working Women of Japan" by Sidney Lewis Gulick is a sociological exploration written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the conditions and roles of various classes of working women in Japan, particularly focusing on the impact of industrialization on their lives. Gulick aims to illuminate the situation of working women, examining their labor, social status, and the consequences of cultural traditions and modern influences. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by discussing the dual nature of society in Japan, contrasting traditional roles with the emerging industrial world. He introduces the classification of working women, emphasizing the significant number of those who must earn an income alongside their domestic roles. The opening chapters outline the historical context of Japanese social classes and the socio-economic dynamics faced by women in agriculture and domestic industries. Gulick highlights their contributions to the family economy while simultaneously addressing the challenges they encounter, such as limited education and societal expectations, setting the groundwork for deeper discussions on specific occupational groups in subsequent chapters.
