This unique collection provides critical analyses of Japanese educational history by bringing together gender, transnational, and transcultural perspectives.It illustrates how Japanese, European, and American women educators transcended national borders in seeking to reform and re-shape Japanese education and society in the midst of social and political change from the Meiji era (1868-1912) to 1948 and beyond, including during the American Occupation of Japan. It demonstrates how educational practice from Europe and the United States not only flowed into Japan before and after the First and Second World Wars but also became entangled with Japanese perspectives, as well as with nationalism, colonialism, imperialism, and regionalism, as some Japanese educators sought to reform education for Asian women beyond Japan’s borders. In an increasingly connected world, where, at the same time, opportunities for women’s education in some countries are declining, the volume provides insights for readers into how women educators have co-operated historically across national borders in pursuit of reform in education and society in periods of immense social and political change, including at moments when nationalism and imperialism were in the ascendancy.This volume will be of interest to academics, researchers, and post graduate students in the fields of Japanese history, history of Japanese education, Japanese women’s history, gender perspectives, and transnational and transcultural research. It will also be of interest to readers curious about the history of Asia more broadly.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A collection of facsimile reprints of early books and pamphlets on women’s physical education and related subjects of health and sports published in the nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Britain. The collection totals eighteen items, including: exercise books; school textbooks; surveys and research on the health of female students, as well as handbooks of modern sports such as tennis, golf, hockey, cycling etc. Includes many illustrations and pictures. Arranged by category in five volumes. Including hard-to-obtain items, the collection offers a valuable source of information, not only on the history of female education, but also on gender studies, sexuality, and the body.Extracts from the Preface by Setsuko Kagawa--- In the past few decades historians have developed an interest in the human body, health and physical education, from the viewpoints of social class, gender and national efficiency. As to the history of women’s physical education and sport in nineteenth- to twentieth-century Britain, we already have pioneering works by feminist researchers like Sheila Fletcher, Kathleen McCrone, and Jeniffer Hargreaves. Quite recently Ina Zweiniger-Bargielowska explored the emergence of modern male and female bodies and physical culture, within the wide context of debates about racial fitness and active citizenship from 1880s until 1939. However, we have much difficulty in investigating the actual state of early physical exercise and organized physical education for women in this period because of the lack and disparity of historical documents. Research will be much helped by having scattered contemporary literature brought together in these newly reprinted volumes.
