"Here are Japanese women in infinite and fascinating variety – ardent lovers, lonely single women, political activists, betrayed wives, loyal wives, protective mothers, embittered mothers, devoted daughters. … a new sense of the richness of Japanese women's experience, a new appreciation for feelings too long submerged". – The New York Times Book Review
