- Abstract / Summary
- This essay is a brief summary of the intersection of gender, empire, and women’s movements during the century-long era of Japanese empire. Empire had two divergent manifestations for Japan: that is, Japan as a target of imperialism and Japan as a practitioner of imperialism. In both cases, gender, women’s movements, and transnational feminism were central to the defining of the nation. This essay links the documents represented in the Japan cluster of the Women and Social Movements in Modern Empires database. Some documents were published decades ago and are no longer readily accessible to researchers and students. Others are never-published primary documents. All of them are important contributions to the gendered examination of empire in Japan.
