Description

<p>After the suppression and collapse of the proletarian literary movement in wartime, Yuriko Miyamoto wrote a series of “meta-proletarian novels” that focused on the private lives of the writers who dedicated themselves to the movement. In those novels she foregrounded gender issues submerged in the political movement which was rather conservatively male-centered in spite of its apparent radicalness. In the same period Sakae Tuboi wrote about the movement from the viewpoints of the women whose husbands lost their lives in it. In their own ways both women writers pointed to the possibility of proletarian literature as artistic resistance for obscure individuals, especially for women.</p>
