In this lecture, we will look at how the role of women in Japan has changed over time, from traditional society to modern challenges. Traditionally, women were expected to focus on family and household duties, with limited roles outside the home. We’ll explore the cultural and historical factors that have influenced the status of women in Japan today, and discuss where Japan stands in terms of gender equality.
