Focusing on the 1960s, the book explores the significant yet often overlooked role of women in Japan's New Left protest movements. Chelsea Szendi Schieder highlights how these university-educated women actively challenged capitalism and state authority, despite their voices being marginalized by male counterparts and media narratives. By sharing personal stories, the author reveals the gendered dynamics that shaped these movements and constructs a feminist perspective on the era, emphasizing that understanding student activism requires acknowledging women's contributions and experiences.
