Book Synopsis
While the typical Japanese male politician glides through his district in air-conditioned taxis, the typical female voter trundles along the side streets on a simple bicycle. Studying the politics of the average female citizen in Japan, this title argues that this taxi-bicycle contrast reaches deeply into Japanese society.
