Literature, ideology and women's happiness the autobiographical novels of Miyamoto Yuriko

Although the liberation of women was one of the basic concerns of the Meiji intellectuals who struggled with the question of modernizing the self-and thus the women's liberation movement has a long history in modern Japan—women's concerns were generally left to women intellectuals and treated separately rather than as a part of broad social movements. Similarly women writers were classified separately (as "female-school writers") and their literature considered a special category related only tangentially to the central activities of modern Japanese writers
