This book is a feminist reading of gender performance and construction of the female role players, onnogata, of the Kabuki theatre. It is not limited to a 'theatre arts' focus, rather it is a mapping and close analysis of transformative genders through several historical periods in Japan (the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries).

KATHERINE MEZUR is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Rhetoric and Film at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
