39、 (总题数：4，分数：20.00)BTEXT A/BIn Japan, where career opportunities for women are few, where divorce can mean a life of hardship, and where most female names are still formed using a word for child, a womans independence has always come at a steep price.Notions of womens liberation have never taken root
