THE ACCIDENTAL OFFICE LADY : AN AMERICAN WOMAN IN CORPORATE JAPAN

---

A young woman with a new degree in Japanese studies and plenty of youthful idealism and can-do spirit accepts a job as the first American trainee at Honda's headquarters in Tokyo. Her image of Japanese corporate life is dramatically challenged on her first day at work when she is issued a blue polyester uniform--a uniform worn only by women

From menial beginnings serving tea to executives and cleaning the boss's deskto a stint in public relationsto developing training classes for Japanese associates going to AmericaLaura Kriska recounts her struggle to adapt to--and ultimately thrive in--the culture of a traditional Japanese company. Shortly before her departureshe travels full circle by introducing a successful campaign to make women's uniforms optional.

Now with a new foreword by the authorThe Accidental Office Lady is a vivid and valuable firsthand account not only of corporate Japan and the gender inequality that persists within itbut of an outsider's successful attempt to work within cultural boundaries to affect organizational change.
