ABSTRACT
In Japan, a feminist magazine that started publication in 1911 became the symbol of the New Woman. The name of the magazine, Seito¯ (Bluestocking), was derived from the well-known women’s literary group in eighteenth-century London. This chapter focuses mainly on Seito¯ and the women who were in charge of its publication and content. First, however, I will briefly discuss the preceding historical time frame.
