Tsuda Umeko and Women''s Education in Japan

Zusammenfassung Umeko's experiences are presented as illustrative of the contradictions and ironies behind Japan's changing views of women and the West. She was sent abroad in 1871 to absorb what could benefit Japanese women but on her return had to adapt to the confines of the official view of the role of women.
