Reviews
Most recently, the post-World War II Allied occupation of Japan was explored in Richard B. Finn's Winners in Peace (Univ. of California, 1992). Yet Johnson, a former teacher, Girl Scout leader, and editor, is the first woman to write of her experiences as a woman occupation officer in Japan, where she served on the island of Shikoku from 1947 to 1951. Her account of her efforts to help Japanese women internalize democratic principles at the grass-roots level reveals much about postwar conditions in rural Japan and about women's struggles to achieve equality in a male-dominated society. A foreword by Japanese historian Yuba Moriguchi Tsuchiya provides historical context. Important for providing the long-neglected woman's point of view, this work is useful for women's studies collections in all libraries.?Katharine L. Kan, Hawaii State Lib., Honolulu
