Butterfly's Sisters: The Geisha in Western Culture
Yoko Kawaguchi
Explores the Western portrayal of Japanese women - and geishas in particular - from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. This title argues that in the West, Japanese women have come to embody certain ideas about feminine sexuality, and analyzes how these ideas have been expressed in diverse art forms.
