A Place in Public - Women's Rights in Meiji Japan

Informationen zum Autor Marnie S. Anderson is Assistant Professor of History at History at Smith College. Klappentext Addresses how gender became a defining category in the political and social modernization of Japan. This book shows how 'a woman's place' in late-nineteenth-century Japan was characterized by contradictions and unexpected consequences! by new opportunities and new constraints. Zusammenfassung Anderson argues that shifts in the gender system during the early Meiji period had mixed consequences for Japanese women. Women gained access to the chance to represent themselves and play a limited political role, but were permitted political participation only as an expression of “citizenship through the household.”
