Quotes by Janice P. Nimura (?)

“But these American women! They had opinions, which they didn鈥檛 hesitate to offer鈥攁nd the men listened. They joined their husbands at social gatherings and official ceremonies. They presided at table. Men gave up their seats for women, doffed their hats to them, made way for them on the sidewalk, fetched and carried for them. In public. Clearly, American women had a happier lot than their Japanese sisters. Why? The answer, Kuroda concluded, was education.”
― Janice P. Nimura, Daughters of the Samurai: A Journey from East to West and Back
