Project Gutenberg 2010-05-20 Public domain in the USA. 2219 Bacon, Alice Mabel 1858 1918 Japanese Girls and Women Revised and Enlarged Edition Produced by Juliet Sutherland, S.D., and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Japanese Girls and Women" by Alice Mabel Bacon is a cultural study written in the late 19th century. The book explores the lives, traditions, and roles of Japanese women, offering insights into their upbringing, education, marriage, and societal expectations. It aims to shed light on the often overlooked aspect of Japanese culture—the perspectives and experiences of women—providing a comprehensive view of their contributions to family and society. The opening of the text introduces readers to the cherished childhood of Japanese girls, emphasizing the celebratory customs surrounding their birth and naming. It describes the various ceremonies, like the "miya mairi", that mark significant milestones in a baby's early life, and illustrates how cultural expectations shape their upbringing. The author contrasts the joyous occasions with the restrictions and pressures that daughters face, setting the stage for the wider themes of education, marriage, and the evolving roles of women in Japanese society, which are explored in subsequent chapters.
