Description

This 5-volume set from Edition Synapse offers a unique historical perspective on Japan between 1913 and 1934. It collects the writings of American Christian missionary women, including both female missionaries and missionary wives, who served in Japan during the early twentieth century. Following the Meiji restoration of 1868, many missionaries arrived in the country. While their primary goal was religious, these women played a significant role in the rapid Westernization of Japan. This collection highlights the specific leadership roles women missionaries took in activities involving local women, providing a rare look at social changes through their eyes. Distributed by Routledge outside of Japan, this scholarly series is an essential resource for historians studying Asian history and the impact of Western influence in Japan.
