| Research Abstract |
Since the rise of the Women's Liberation Movement in 1970s (the second wave feminism), the early 20^<th> century feminism (the first wave feminism) seems to have lost its role, having its single purpose ‘Vote for Women' had been achieved. However, the first feminism was taking up not only ‘Vote for Women', but also various issues which the second wave feminism is discussing as though it find them for the first time. The aim of this research is to find out these issues of the first feminism and to trace their genealogy comparing their social and national backgrounds. The results of the research are as follows.
First, we take up three Japanese leading women of the first wave : Hiratsuka, Yamakawa and Takamure. Mizuta's article analyzes the impact of German Idealism on Hiratsuka's epistemology. Yoshida's article clarifies the individualist aspect of socialist Yamakawa referring her theory of love, marriage and family. As for Takamure, Simura's article defines her position as motherhood-anarchist among feminists.
Secondly, Misaki's three articles take up the various types of French feminism at that time, and conclude that the fundamental position of radical feminism is the independence of women as a feminist.
Thirdly, Ohasi's two articles are about the relation between socialism and gender in U.S.A, and especially the second one takes up the discussion on birth control in magazines. Yamada's article explains the relation between coeducation and feminism in public schools in U.S.A., which is quite different from that of Japan and Western Europe.
