Project Title: THE WOMAN: A RADICAL FEMINISM STUDY ON THE OPPRESSION OF WOMEN IN JAPANESE SOCIETY Abstract - This project aims to find out what impact do women’s oppression in Japanese society have on Japanese women in modern society. To answer this question, I conducted a review on related studies and theories, and an interview. As a result of the research done, I created a short story entitled THE WOMAN. Women’s oppression is a serious problem in every corner of the world and Japan is also one of the countries which have the big problem of women’s oppression. Therefore, a study to understand women’s oppression is important for every society in the world and it is essential for the next generation. Additionally, the project explored the history of feminism in Japan, women in society, and the relationship between men and women by Richard Lee and Richard Daly’s Man’s Domination and Women’s Oppression. They discussed about the foundation of the problem and social system, and the relationship between men and women in society and radical feminism in Japan. Radical feminism was used to see the basic division in society and the relationship between men and women and women’s oppression. An open-ended interview was used to have a deeper understanding on what really happened in Japanese society, especially on women’s oppression. A creative short story based on the study of radical feminism study the oppression of women in Japanese society is the result of this research. Hopefully, it will enlighten reader’s understanding on the real condition even in modern society, especially in Japan; and eventually, help reduce or stop the vicious cycle of women’s oppression
