商品簡介
In 1902 members of the Japanese Woman's Christian Temperance
Union (WCTU) submitted a petition to the National Diet to abolish the
custom of rewarding good deeds and patriotic service with the bestowal
of sake cups. Alcohol production and consumption, its members argued,
harmed individuals, endangered public welfare, and wasted vital
resources.
The sake cup petition was only one initiative in a wide-ranging
program to reform public and private behaviour in Japan. Between 1886
and 1912, the WCTU launched campaigns to eliminate prostitution,
eradicate drinking and smoking, spread Christianity, and improve the
lives of women. As Elizabeth Dorn Lublin shows, members did not
passively accept and propagate government policy but felt a duty to
shape it by defining social problems and influencing opinion. Certain
their beliefs and reforms were essential to Japan's advancement,
members couched their calls for change in the rhetorical language of
national progress. Ultimately, the WCTU's activism belies
received notions of women's public involvement and political
engagement in Meiji Japan.
This fascinating study of women bound by God, home, and country will
appeal to students and scholars of Japanese History, religious studies,
and gender studies.
