GOSSAMER YEARS
In her diary, the author describes her unhappy marriage and growing indignation at the rival wives and mistresses taken by her husband. Too impetuous to play the role of a subsidiary wife, the author protests the marriage system of her time in one of Japanese literature's earliest portrayals of the difficulties faced by women in a male-dominated society. 16 pages of photos.
