Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Progress in Japan From all Japanese, of every shade of religious belief or of none, we hear the unanimous verdict Christianity brought a new message to woman. Fifty years ago the gospel of joy began to move the hearts of Japan's daughters. Some of these, now white-haired, are still teachers, and have been makers of Christian homes or are active in Christian churches. The first recognition of female education by the Government of Japan was when a young woman, who had been under the instruction of Mrs. J. C. Hepburn of the Presbyterian Mission, was appointed assistant to Miss Margaret Clark Griffis, in the first school opened under government auspices in the castle in Tokyo. To this school with its sixty pupils, daughters of the nobility and gentry, the Empress paid repeated visits. In the book, Who's Who in Japan, for 1912, we find an astonishing record of graduates of this first school. Many are wives or widows of eminent men, leaders of the nation, while other private data reveal a remarkable line of teachers and' influential women, not a few of whom are Christians.

The first three chapters deal with historical facts and the rest with the present condition of things. Rich as this country is in ancient records, those which pertain to women are very scarce, and it is no light work to make up their history. This is no doubt due, on one hand, to the secret nature Of womanly interference, and on the other, to the delicate modesty Of our women.

Download or read book Women and the Economic Miracle written by Mary C. Brinton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lucid, hard-hitting book explores a central paradox of the Japanese economy: the relegation of women to low-paying, dead-end jobs in a workforce that depends on their labor to maintain its status as a world economic leader. Drawing upon historical materials, survey and statistical data, and extensive interviews in Japan, Mary Brinton provides an in-depth and original examination of the role of gender in Japan's phenomenal postwar economic growth. Brinton finds that the educational system, the workplace, and the family in Japan have shaped the opportunities open to female workers. Women move in and out of the workforce depending on their age and family duties, a great disadvantage in a system that emphasizes seniority and continuous work experience. Brinton situates the vicious cycle that perpetuates traditional gender roles within the concept of human capital development, whereby Japanese society "underinvests" in the capabilities of women. The effects of this underinvestment are reinforced indirectly as women sustain male human capital through unpaid domestic labor and psychological support. Brinton provides a clear analysis of a society that remains misunderstood, but whose economic transformation has been watched with great interest by the industrialized world.
