"Gender and Sexuality in Modern Japan" describes the ever-changing manifestations of sexes, genders, and sexualities in Japanese society from the 1860s to the present day. Analyzing a wide range of texts, images, and data, Sabine Frühstück considers the experiences of females, males, and the evolving spectrum of boundary-crossing individuals and identities in Japan, including an intersexed conscript in the 1880s, the first "out" lesbian war reporter in the 1930s, and a dozen of pregnancy-vest-wearing male governors in the present day. In this talk, Frühstück describes the challenges, joys, and decisions involved in writing this book for general readers.
