Embracing the East: White Women and American Orientalism
Yoshihara, Mari (Assistant Professor of American Studies, Assistant Professor of American Studies, University of Hawaii, Manoa)
This study examines a range of white women who were attracted to Japan and China in the late-19th and early-20th-century and shows how, through their engagement with Asia, these women found new forms of expression, power, and freedom that were often denied to them in the US.
