This thesis explores images of women in Japanese television dramas and the social functions these images perform with a focus on the Asadora television show. The results indicate first, the show portrayed most heroines as married, working mothers who worked at home. Second, an examination of five works with historical settings demonstrates that the show depicted most heroines as opposed to the war while emphasizing the “women's home front" as a setting for its storylines. Third, Asadora did not begin from the theme of "biography of a woman". In this way, the thesis surveyed the trends and changes in Asadora from 1961 to 2011, providing an academic and systematic examination of the program as a case study for how women-focused genres address the issue of representing women from a subordinate position.
