日本妇女的传统形象是一个依赖别人、恭顺的家庭主妇。Iwao认为，这种形象掩盖了日本妇女在家庭中的影响力，也没有考虑到最近的社会经济发展使更多的妇女进入工业。日本妇女对子女的教育投入很大。Iwao认为，正是这种参与导致了优异的学习成绩。她们对丈夫的行为也有一种微妙但有力的影响。事实上，根据Iwao的说法，美国妇女可以从日本妇女那里学到很多关于如何在家庭中行使控制权的东西。日本的劳动力短缺正在吸引越来越多的妇女加入劳动力大军。这开始对日本妇女在家庭内外的作用产生决定性影响，妇女对日本经济未来的影响力和重要性越来越大。
The traditional image of the Japanese woman is that of a dependent deferential housewife. Iwao argues that this image conceals the influence that Japanese woman exercise in the home, and does not reckon with recent socioeconomic developments that have brought more women into industry. Japanese woman are intensely involved in the education of their children. It is this involvement, Iwao argues, that accounts for excellent academic record. They also have a subtle but powerful influence over the conduct of their husbands. Indeed, according to Iwao, American women could learn much form Japanese women about how to exercise control in the household. The shortage of labour in Japan is drawing more and more women into the workforce. This is beginning to have a decisive effect on the role of Japanese women both inside and outside the home, with women becoming increasingly powerful and important to Japan's economic future.
