Here are some sites

that have been designed specifically

to provide information

about and for

Japanese women. . .

but first, here's a look

at some famous ones.

 

and here are three more . . .

 

Kazuko, Kayo, and Sumi are three friends

who grew up in Japan.

Kayo is my good friend Keiko's

mother-in-law.

The two photos above

were taken in 1933 and 1995,

when they were 19 and 81,

respectively.

 

Now, here are some places for you to visit.

I hope you find them interesting as well as helpful.
