The journal published sixteen issues, six per year in 1938 and 1939, and four in 1940, before ceasing publication in July 1940. The first issue was 6 pages in length and subsequent issues were four pages long. During the late 1930s, Japan’s expansionism in Asia eroded trust, friendship and cooperation. The league envisioned the journal as a means to maintain unity with feminists throughout the world. In the introductory essay of the first issue, Ichikawa explicitly expressed that goal. She identified as fellow feminists as "co-workers" in a time of war, which she described as "chaotic days" and a "reactionary period." Most issues contained a "News in Brief" column and a "Chronicle" of the past months' events as they affected women. Of note, these features show that a remarkable number of Japanese women continued to attend meetings abroad and foreign women leaders continued to travel to meetings in Japan despite international tensions during these troubled years.

Yamada Waka (1879-1957) was born to a poor farming family. She left for North America at age 18 to find work as a domestic servant or seamstress. Upon landing in Vancouver, BC, she was seized by sex traffickers and placed in a brothel. A young Japanese journalist helped her escape, and the couple fled to San Francisco, where she returned to sex work to support them. Her second flight from prostitution brought her to the Chinese Presbyterian Mission Home, where she worked as a translator. She met Yamada Kakichi, who ran an English-language school. They married in 1904. Returning to Japan after the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, Yamada Waka translated documents by Western feminists, associated with women in the Bluestocking Society (Seitōsha), and she came to be known in the famous “Motherhood Protection Debate” (1918-19) as an advocate of a maternalist view of womanhood that resonated with traditionalist Japanese “good wife, wise mother” ideology. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Yamada continued to advocate for mothers and children, and she led the Motherhood Protection League to help pass Japan’s first mother and child welfare law in 1937. While hiding her past as a sex worker, Yamada set up facilities for “rescued” sex workers, wrote advice columns for women, worked with more radical feminists when their interests coincided, and traveled to the United States where she was invited to meet Eleanor Roosevelt at the White House in 1937. That year she also wrote The Social Status of Japanese Women. This was one volume in a series published by Kokusai Bunka Shinkokai (Society for International Cultural Relations), whose purpose was “to introduce and encourage interest in, and study and knowledge of, Japanese culture based upon the ideal of furthering worldwide exchange of cultural relations in the cause of international peace and better understanding,” (p.3). This was particularly important in the context of the late 1930s, when Japan’s international image was adversely affected by its Asian continental expansionism. Most of the editorial board members of this society were high-ranking government officials or prestigious academics, both who sought good relations with the West while advancing Japanese imperialism. Yamada’s volume also equates the role of Japan’s strong mothers with its men in the military.
