The Women's Book Club ㊻

The Women's Book Club Hello everyone, this is Yumiko's channel. Let me tell you about the women's book club I meet with once a month. This club is for slightly older women who gather to read books and newspapers, discuss politics and everyday matters, and enjoy conversation. We always meet at a coffee shop called "Ten”, translated into English, it means sky. It is located at the top of a hill next to an elementary school, with a great view, that is why I think the caffe is named Ten. Overlooking the city of Okazaki, you can see the old waterworks building, a mall, and mountains in the distance. The scenery reflects the beauty of each moment, when it's cold, hot, rainy and sunny. One of the members is a friend of the owner, and she always sets up a small room for us. We order breakfast and meet there every fourth Wednesday morning of the month between 10am and 12am. Ten has two types of morning service, Japanese and Western style available, and it costs 440 yen. On January twenty-second, we read and discussed "Women's Day Off” that was a newspaper article. The article said, “On October 24, 1975, 90% of all Icelandic women took a break from work and housework in an unprecedented "Women's Day Off." The country became dysfunctional, proving that society cannot function without women. Iceland subsequently became the country with the most gender equality (ranked #1 in the Gender Gap Index for 16 consecutive years).” What's happening in Japan now? ① The percentage of women with college or graduate degrees in the stem field is the lowest. ② The most common annual income for married college-educated women is below two million yen, demonstrating a clear gender gap. ③ 80% of housework is done by women. Even with both spouses working full-time, the difference is three times. ④ Japan ranks 118th on the Gender Gap Index. What can we do to change the situation Japanese women find themselves in? We can surely learn something from Icelandic women. Having read the article beforehand I made these straps with "Women's Day Off" on them and gave them to everyone. I drew it on the computer, printed it in color, put it in a case, punched holes, and attached a string. Look at these. These are the straps. This mark features the equality sign and feminine symbol within a dove of peace. We will be wearing these straps from March 6th to 8th. We are a diverse group of people, including school and nursery schoolteachers, housewives, and businesspeople. It's very interesting to hear stories from each of our perspectives. Next time, I'll talk about the "Pigeonhole Principle." Stay tuned!
