Gitte Marianne Hansen a Lecturer in Japanese Studies at Newcastle University, UK. She holds a PhD in Japanese Studies from the Unversity of Cambridge, UK.
This book examines the relationship between normative femininity and women's self-directed violence in contemporary Japanese culture including novels, artwork, TV dramas and news stories. The book analyses both well known Japanese culture such as Murakami Haruki's literary works as well as culture unavailable to non-Japanese readers.
