Outline of Final Research Achievements


This study examines the evolution of the women's education system during the Meiji period considering the reception of Western scientific thought. It has been revealed that the theoretical foundation for women's secondary education was an evolutionary thought, while the conception of a life course for women was characterized by“school, marriage, and childbirth.”The primary aim was to improve the Japanese race through the management of their reproductive ability. Students were segregated based on gender, and their adherence to different curricula were founded on broad objectives of nation-state building - that is, evolution of the Japanese race and“efficient use”of the females' reproductive ability.
