Japanese Women In Science And Engineering: History And Policy Change (Routledge Contemporary Japan Series)

The number of Japanese women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) remains relatively few. This book sheds light on historical developments and the current gender equality situation in Japan, through the lens of women these fields. It shows how a policy of gender equality in science and engineering has been introduced through the coordinated efforts of academia, scientific societies and the government, and how this has led to a slow but steady increase in female representation.
