| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
May Massee (1882-1966), editor of children's books, published nearly 1,000 books in her career and contributed to the creation of the Golden Age of American Picture Books. This study clarified her biography and her philosophy with evidences searched in her essays, speeches, and letters as well as recollections written by her authors, artists and friends, collected in the "May Massee Collection" of Emporia State University, Kansas. Through the research, I was able to illuminate what Massee valued in children's books and what she wanted to show to children, namely the value of "democracy," at the time of the drastic increase of immigrants, wars, and the economic crisis.
