| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 日本研究所 === 81 === To those who study modern Women's Study of Japan, Raicho
Hilashuka could be considered one of the most representative
figures among her contemporaries. Not only had she undergone
three periods of Meiji, Tacheng, and Chaoho, along with the
growth and modernization of the national system of Japan, her
thought also reflects the spirit of her time. In addition,
Raicho Hilashuka's accomplishment in constructing the thought
of the liberation of women and her devotion to being a pioneer
in the civil movement of women make her the founder coneerning
female issue on the Japanese "Motherliness" and the conception
of "Motherhood." In general, Raicho Hilashuka's life during the
process of erecting the thought of the liberation of women
could be divi- ded into three periods roughly according to the
chronicle order,first, the Meiji period, second, the Tacheng
period, and third, the Chaoho period. In this thesis, I
understake first of all research centered on three stages of
Raicho Hilashuka's construction of the thought of the
liberation of women during the Tacheng period(1910s --1920s).
By means of my research, the traits Raicho Hilashuka left
during the formation of the Japanese civil movement of women
could be laid bare. Likewise, it is in this sense that there
will be a better understanding of the importance of Raicho
Hilashuka's thought of the liber- ration of women in the
history of thoughts in Japan. Secondly, I endeavour to dub in
one chapter the feminist critism before the publication of
"Blue Stocking" while distributing another chapter to the study
of the female criticism after the foundation of the "New Women
Association" to maintain the integrity and consistency of my
research. Above all, my aim in this thesis is not to give the
last word to a modern feminist reading. Instead, my task is to
demonstrate the speciality of Raicho Hilashuka's existence
during Meiji and Chaoho -- two periods heavily colored with a
strong sense of nationalism.
