Co-ed revolution : the female student in the Japanese New Left / Chelsea Szendi Schieder.

"Violent events involving female students symbolized the rise and fall of the New Left in Japan, from the 1960 death of Kanba Michiko in a mass demonstration to the 1972 murders committed under the leadership of Nagata Hiroko in a sectarian purge, yet the movement at large is often memorialized as "male." Drawing on a wide range of contemporary mass media sources, activist accounts, and archival materials, Coed Revolution argues that the dramatic student activism of the 1960s in Japan cannot be understood without a consideration of the experiences and representations of the female student activist, whose contested political, social, and economic significance should be understood as central to many of the radical debates of the time about state power, knowledge production, nurturing, everyday life, and violence"-- Provided by publisher.
