Japanese Women Settlers and the Civilization of Empire in Taiwan During the 1910s
Evan Dawley of Reed College will speak at UC Berkeley on the topic of Japanese Women Settlers' influence in Taiwan.
When:
April 21, 2011 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Where
As Japanese women began to settle in Taiwan in greater numbers, they contributed in significant ways to the changing face of Japanese colonialism. Through one organization in particular, the Taiwan branch of the Patriotic Ladies Association (Aikoku fujinkai), they both supported the military suppression of Taiwan’s aborigines and promoted cultural and social reform programs that marked the turn toward civilian rule in Taiwan. This presentation will explore the organization’s activities, and the experience of Japanese women in colonial Taiwan.
