Dit boek daagt de lezer uit om Azië en Aziaten te zien zoals ze echt zijn, met een heldere, ongeërotiseerde ogen. Het onthult de wortels van de Westerse fantasieën in de seksueel beladen geschiedenis van het oost-west-contact, het onderzoekt de Hollywoodbeelden van de Drakenvrouw, Dominatrix, het Geishameisje, Suzie Wong en anderen, de verwachtingen die deze beelden creëren en waarom ze standhouden. Het boek verscheurt de stereotype beelden van Aziatische mannen als ontmand en aseksueel en het onderzoekt het fenomeen van 'Yellow Fever' en het onderliggende racisme en andere sociale factoren die het bevoorraden. De lezer krijgt een reality tour langs Aziatische go-gobars, campussen, zakendistricten en de wandelgangen van de macht, van Japan naar China, van Indonesië naar Burma en bijna elk land er tussen. Ze vertelt het echte, menselijke verhaal achter de beelden van brave huisvrouwen, attente hostesses, slaafse geisha's, exotische Cathay meisjes, onbuigzame gevechtsmeesteressen en de meedogenloze vrouwelijke heersers van Azië.

Based on the lives and crimes of no less than twenty real women, dokufu (poison women) narratives emerged as a powerful presence in Japan during the 1870s. During this tumultuous time, as the nation moved from feudalism to oligarchic government, such accounts articulated the politics and position of underclass women, sexual morality, and female suffrage. Over the next century, the figure of the oversexed female criminal, usually guilty of robbery or murder, became ubiquitous in modern Japanese culture. In Poison Woman, Christine L. Marran investigates this powerful icon, its shifting meanings, and its influence on defining women's sexuality and place in Japan. She begins by considering Meiji gesaku literature, in which female criminality was often medically defined and marginalized as abnormal. She describes the small newspapers (koshinbun) that originally reported on poison women, establishing journalistic and legal conventions for future fiction about them. She examines zange, or confessional narratives, of female and male ex-convicts from the turn of the century, then reveals how medical and psychoanalytical literature of the 1920s and 1930s offered contradictory explanations of the female criminal as an everywoman or a historical victim of social circumstances and the press. She concludes by exploring postwar pulp fiction (kasutori), film and underground theater of the 1970s, and the feminist writer Tomioka Taeko's take on the transgressive woman. Persistent stories about poison women illustrate how a few violent acts by women were transformed into myriad ideological, social, and moral tales that deployed notions of female sexual desire and womanhood. Bringing together literary criticism, the history of science, media theory, and gender and sexuality studies, Poison Woman delves into genre and gender in ways that implicate both in projects of nation-building.

Feminism in Modern Japan is an original and path-breaking book which traces the history of feminist thought and women's activism in Japan from the late nineteenth century to the present. The author offers a fascinating account of those who struck out against convention in the dissemination of ideas which challenged accepted notions of thinking about women, men and society generally. Feminist activism took diverse forms as women questioned their roles as subjects of the Emperor, or explored the limits of citizenship under the more liberal post-war constitution. The story is brought to life through translated extracts of the writings of Japanese feminists. This cogent, carefully documented analysis will be welcomed by students from a range of disciplines including those working on gender studies and feminist history, where nothing comparable is currently available.
