Abstract
“This book examines the social norms and ideologies that had a strong hold on people in the age of the modern nation-state, with a particular focus on gender issues” (p. 1). The questions the study raises are the following: “How were people involved in the construction of gender norms and ideology within the context of the nation-state’s seeking both the integration of the “people” and differentiation among them; and how did [these norms and ideologies] become inescapable in the historical context formed thereby?” (p. 3).
This is a translation of a book review that originally appeared in Shakai Keizai Shigaku 81(4) (February 2016), pp. 133–135.
