So issues  stemming from gender discrimination may sometimes  not appear to be explicitly sexist or problematic.  Japanese feminists, too, can possibly be profoundly  bound by them, and may fail to see that they really  are the causes of gender discrimination in Japan. In  modern Japanese feminist history, there have been a  number of cases in which Japanese feminists tried  their best to improve the conditions of Japanese  women, often by co-opting Western feminist ideas. In  some respects, they were successful; their  seemingly ¿feminist¿ activities, however,  paradoxically resulted in the perpetuation  of ¿bosei¿ a Japanese motherhood ideology. This  study explores a genealogy of ¿bosei¿ as a socially  constructed patriotic idea, and examines the ways in  which it was first constituted and reconstituted in  the course of the Japanese nationalist movement, and  has since then been repeatedly legitimated and  reinforced by Japanese feminists, thus becoming a  powerful ideological means to confine Japanese women  to their supposedly ¿traditional¿ gender roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838308647\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Transformation of Western Feminist Ideas in Japan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838308647","offer_id":39497095315549,"sku":"9783838308647","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/5ec98133-98d0-4fcf-b585-655d596a88d0.jpg?v=1775191413","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/rediscovering-japanese-motherhood-von-masami-tamagawa","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
