Historical Role of Women in Japan and the World
July 8, 2016 @ 10:40 am - 1:00 pm
FreeJoin the Retired Men’s Association as Janice Nimura presents “Historical Role of Women in Japan and the World”.
While women in the United States only achieved the right to vote in 1920, they were heirs to a century-long struggle for emancipation. By contrast women in Japan were historically subjugated to the extent that according to one samurai code “the words of women should be totally disregarded.”
From her research for this historic initiative and years living in Japan, Ms. Nimura will speak on the “Historical Role of Women in Japan and the World.” She will consider the traditional role of Japanese women and how today it is still a very complex role.
