Nakajima Shoen (1861-1901) is well known--most often by the name Kishida Toshiko---as the leading woman orator of the Freedom and People's Rights Movement (Jiyu Minken Undo). On October 12, 1883, after addressing an audience on the topic of "daughters in boxes" (hakoiri musume), she became the first woman charged with the crimes of "political speech without a permit" and "insulting a government official," for which she spent eight days in jail and was assessed a fine. Her 1884 essay "To My Fellow Sisters" ("Doho shimai ni tsugu") is well known as a key document of the struggle for women's equality in Japan.

520 $a Nakajima Shoen (1861-1901) is well known--most often by the name Kishida Toshiko---as the leading woman orator of the Freedom and People's Rights Movement (Jiyu Minken Undo). On October 12, 1883, after addressing an audience on the topic of "daughters in boxes" (hakoiri musume), she became the first woman charged with the crimes of "political speech without a permit" and "insulting a government official," for which she spent eight days in jail and was assessed a fine. Her 1884 essay "To My Fellow Sisters" ("Doho shimai ni tsugu") is well known as a key document of the struggle for women's equality in Japan.
520 $a The most widely held view of Shoen is that her marriage in 1885 marked the end of her activism on behalf of women. As a result, scholars have allowed Shoen's groundbreaking achievements as an early activist for women's rights to obscure her many other accomplishments, including her writings. This dissertation redresses that imbalance by analyzing the two major literary works she published after her political activities came to an end, thereby demonstrating that she by no means abandoned her principles when she married Nakajima Nobuyuki (1846-1899).
520 $a In many respects, Zen'aku no chimata (1887, At the Crossroads of Good and Evil), which Shoen loosely based on Edward Bulwer-Lytton's (1803-1873) novel Eugene Aram (1832) was the first of its kind, a unique literary feat for a woman of her time. Its immediate reception was hostile, however, and it has largely been ignored since its publication.
520 $a The work raises many questions. Why did Shoen choose this particular Victorian novel? Moreover, why did she choose not to reveal its relationship to the other text? What relationship does it have to her subsequent autobiographical novel Sankan no meika? Considering these questions not only sheds new light on Shoen's life and work, but also provides a gendered framework in which to consider the meaning of concepts such as originality, authorship, and translation at a crucial moment in the Meiji period. A complete English translation of Sankan no meika constitutes the appendix of this dissertation.
