This collection of essays is a comprehensive study of the ""father-daughter dynamic"" in Japanese female literary experience. Its contributors examine the ways in which women have been placed politically, ideologically, and symbolically as ""daughters"" in a culture that venerates ""the father"". They weigh the impact that this daughterly position has had on both the performance and production of women's writing from the classical period to the present. Conjoining the classical and the modern with a unified theme reveals an important continuum in female authorship-a historical approach often ignored by scholars. The essays devoted to the literature of the classical period discuss canonical texts in a new light, offering important feminist readings that challenge existing scholarship, while those dedicated to modern writers introduce readers to little-known texts with translations and readings that are engaging and original.
