Abstract / Summary
The life of Frances Hawks Cameron Burnett (1884-1957, hereafter Burnett) the wife of Lt Charles Burnett, U.S. military attaché to the American Embassy in Japan, provides a third picture that links male and female activism related to U.S.-Japan relations before World War II. Burnett spent most of her life between 1911 and 1929 in Japan. Although she was not qualified to conduct official diplomacy, she was expected to play a quasi-diplomatic supporting role as Charles Burnett’s spouse. Interestingly, she chose to do this by writing poetry in Japanese.
