    Raised to Be Supported, She Became an Independent Woman

    At home, you were expected to be a woman who was supported. In society, you were expected to be a woman who could stand without support. You inherited different expectations from two eras and have tried to meet them both.

    Many women raised by parents of the Showa generation will have inherited the belief that a woman should defer to a man and support the household.

    Yet the society in which you have actually lived has expected you to be financially independent, work as an equal alongside men, and make your own choices about your life.

    You have tried to meet both sets of expectations. That is why, even when your work is recognised, part of you may still feel that you are somehow lacking as a woman.

    It is not because you have low self-esteem. It is because you have carried the standards of two different eras at the same time.

    At home, you were expected to be a woman who was supported.
    In society, you were expected to be a woman who could stand without support.

    You do not have to be strong all the time.
    Come to a place where you can safely explore how you truly feel.
