Reviews for Women of the Mito Domain: Recollections of Samurai Family Life
"The book is a treasure house of immensely informative material. . . . An important addition to the small body of English-language works on the conditions of late Tokugawa society, told at a very human level."—Comparative Studies in Society and History
