Japanese Women and Women’s Universities in Japan in the Context of Historical, Social, and Political Dynamics and Discourses

Summary/Abstract: This study discusses the position of Japanese women in the higher education system, especially through Women’s Universities, from the social, political, and cultural aspects of the last 150 years. Since the studies on the Japanese society, women, the education system, and higher education at the national level are limited, first, the change in socio-cultural and political discourses regarding Japanese women and the transformation of Japanese Higher Education in the last century, and then the history of women’s education and universities in Japan are scrutinized in social and political contexts. Lastly, the position of the Japanese women are discussed by analyzing the women’s universities. Based on all the discussions and data, it can be interpreted that women’s universities are mostly not in a visionary, specific, and impulsive position regarding women and women’s education, and most are not in a pioneering, groundbreaking position compared to coed universities in terms of academic productivity.
