Nyonin Geijutsu reflected the voices of women and workers unlike the bourgeoisie magazine Seitô. The Nyonin Geijutsu, of Hasegawa Shigure and its relationship to Japanese Women's Movement, from the feminist perspective, is yet to be established. The presentation scheduled, attempts to locate Nyonin Geijutsu in Cultural History and positions Nyonin Geijutsu as the most important magazine in the Japanese Women's Movement, next to the famous feminist magazine Seitô. The “New Woman” appeared first in the magazine Seitô. However, changes can be observed in case of Nyonin Geijutsu. The concept of the “New Woman” in Nyonin Geijutsu is to be explored, on the basis of Zadankais it conducted. In addition, whether the participants were “New Woman” themselves, will be considered. Women participated in the Zadankais, includes not so regular contributors as well. Their discussions were coloured by various types of ideologies. Those days, women's opportunities to express in the media were limited. The positions taken by the women in the Zadankais were mainly formed on their own personal experiences. Therefore, these Zadankais are extremely valuable source of information as they reflect and reveal the true voices of women. This paper is an attempt to sketch out a common image of “New Woman” as seen in the Zadankais. The “New Woman” was limited to a section of the female intelligentsia earlier. However, by mapping out the common image, it can be proved that some elements of “New Woman” spread to the masses. Contrary to the existing scholarship, which ends up drawing attention to the presence of “Modern Girl” in the early Showa era, I would like to explore the possibilities of the existence of “New Woman” in the same period.}, pages = {103--123}, publisher = {国文学研究資料館}, title = {研究発表 雑誌『女人芸術』の座談会における<新しい女>の考察 ―「多方面恋愛座談会」と「異説恋愛座談会」を中心に―}, year = {2003}, yomi = {レッディ, シュリーデーヴィ} }
