With chapters on public, private, and missionary schools for girls, their students, and teachers, on social and political groups women created, on female employment, and on women's participation in print media, this book offers a new perspective on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Japanese history. Women's founding of and participation in conflicting discourses over the value of women in Meiji public life demonstrate that during this period active and vocal women were everywhere, that they did not meekly submit to the dictates of the government and intellectuals over what women could or should do, and that they were fully integrated in the production of Meiji culture. Mara Patessio shows that the study of women is fundamental not only in order to understand fully the transformations of the Meiji period, but also to understand how later generations of women could successfully move the battle forward. \u003ci\u003eWomen and Public Life in Early Meiji Japan\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for all students and teachers of 19th- and early 20th-century Japanese history and is of interest to scholars of women's history more generally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mara Patessio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 192928067X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781929280674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Mara Patessio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983804989695,"sku":"9781929280674","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a7c33d0-9ef8-432d-be50-863f2b4a39f2.jpg?v=1683268823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-and-public-life-in-mara-patessio-9781929280674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
