Suzuki Suzumi

This book is a collection of essays by 鈴木涼美 (Suzuki Suzumi) originally published as a popular series in the magazine ダ・ヴィンチ. It explores how women are portrayed in various works of fiction—from classic literature to modern TV, movies, comics, and more—to find wisdom and insight for navigating the complexities of women’s lives today. The writing looks at characters from stories like 源氏物語 to Sex and the City, using their experiences to reflect on real-life struggles, feelings, and resilience. The book also includes full-color illustrations by 新井すみこ (Arai Sumiko - mangaka of The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t A Guy At All) throughout.
