This article argues that Japan, a wealthy, secular country with a highly educated population, provides an important counterweight to assumptions about modernization and gender. The authors outline the ways in which gender inequality was a cornerstone of Japan’s economic development. This still has ramifications today for women’s political participation and representation, and for the quality of Japan’s democracy.
