Abstract

ln this paper l will focus on the issue of female anger as it was expressed in the culture of Heian period,and willtry to provide an explanation for the reason,why the subieCt Of anger and emotions that were related to it, occupied such a large place in the gender discourse of that period.I will attempt tO prove,that anger was initially an emotion that belonged to men,and any expression ofit by a woman was condemned as unfeminine and out of the social norrn frames.Moreover,I will demonstrate how the notion of female anger was preserved as a threat for men and/or family welfare.
