Abstract
Much of the English literature on Northeast Asia, which includes China, Taiwan, North and South Korea and Japan, often presupposes that these societies share common cultural features. This book is unique in being the work of a single researcher applying the same theoretical framework to compare women's lives and the forms of patriarchy in China, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea and Japan. This is mainly due to language difficulties. Some books on gender in the region rely on comparable statistical data without getting into the cultural and historical backgrounds of each society. Others are compilations of the works of several scholars, each a specialist on one of the societies being examined - an approach likely to result in the comparisons not being strictly controlled according to unified criteria.Keywords:English literature; gender equality; Northeast Asia
