And then there was the now, in her 40s. Even if you have a mountain of complexes, you can be happy. You can heal your painful past. Tominaga Ai now knows "how to make yourself happy." Women living in Japan, where the gender gap index is low even among developed countries. Especially when you become a mother, there is a tendency to think that self-sacrifice is the norm.
