This book reexamines gender systems in response to protests against discrimination from the rising young generation. It is a feminist critique that reveals the avant-garde nature of Tomioka Taeko's literature and analyzes her radical expressions that reject being subsumed into the narratives of institutionalized life and sexuality, focusing on her "outcasts."
