Coed Revolution: The Female Student in the Japanese New Left.

"Coed Revolution: The Female Student in the Japanese New Left" is a book that explores the history of female activists in the Japanese New Left student movement of the 1960s and early 1970s. The author, Chelsea Szendi Schieder, examines the ways in which young women were both given a voice and silenced within the movement. She argues that women in the New Left were often rendered invisible and faced gendered stereotypes and sexist sensationalism from the mass media. The book also highlights the gendered hierarchies within the movement and the failure of the radical student movement to disrupt the larger social structure. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into the history of women's activism in postwar Japan and contributes to feminist research on left-wing political activism in the country.
