Organizations for women's studies in Japan firstly formed in late 1970's and the academic association was established in late 80's. Before it was formed there was women's liberation movement called "Women's Lib."in early 70's among grass roots women. Although it was not widely recognized, it formed the base of feminists' studies in Japan. Since International Women's Year of 1975 and next ten years of UN Decade for Women, the Japanese government took the action for gender equality, and ratified the Convention for Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women in 1985. Women's studies have two dimensions in its framework. One is search for women's subjectivity in gender biased society. This means to analyze societies from gender perspective. The other is to form the solidarity among women for the movement for gender equality. The conventional understanding of academic studies is that it has to be "objective" and "scientific", not to have relationship with social movement. Women's studies have both aspects of search for objectivity, and of social movement. These two create tention in women's studies, which is meaningful for gender analysis. Feminists recognize the society is male superior. The recognition is restricted by our existance in this society. The discrimination based on sexual division is regarded to be unjust in modern societies. The social system that includes distinction of people can include the discriminative distinction. The problem is in what way each society and culture demarcate between discriminative distinction and distinction without discrimination. The woman's subjectivity is formed by creating her own demarcation between discrimination and distinction in the society based on her description of experiences.
