From Heroine to Patriotic Volunteer by Sally A. Hastings PDF Summary

Book Description: The introduction of Western notions of social work and philanthropy to Japan provided an arena in which able Japanese women could exercise their talents on behalf of the nation. In the Meiji Period (1868-1912), wealthy women patronized Western-style charities such as the Japan Red Cross. A few unusually able women followed the model of heroines such as Jane Addams of Hull House and founded orphanages and kindergartens for the poor. As social work expanded in the Taisho Period (1912-1926), a few well-educated women found employment as experts on women's and children's problems. Many more women became support staff for welfare facilities. The international crisis of the first decade of the Showa Period (1926- ) thrust Japanese women to assume the role of patriotic volunteer. Through social work, a wide variety of Japanese women became active in public affairs and a few women became known as public leaders. Because Japan experienced industrialization as a late-developing nation, the role of women in social work was somewhat different in Japan than in Great Britain or the United States. Women ventured only a limited social distance from their homes and the state played a major part in defining the proper place for women in social service. Nevertheless, the concept of social work provided a legitimate public role for women.
