Yo wa ikanishite beikoku shōjo to kekkonseshiya
Rare Books
Letters written by Kaneko Kiichi to Josephine Conger from 1904 to 1905, while the author was a student at Harvard University. Conger and Kaneko were later married and moved to Girard, Kansas, where they co-founded The Socialist Woman (renamed The Progressive Woman) magazine. Kaneko's letters incluide his thoughts on literature, the status of women, American culture, love and marriage. He also responded to many of the clippings of Conger's writing that she had sent him as well as referencing his own publications in the US and Japan. The English originals are transcribed with their Japanese translations on facing pages. The publication was intended to help Japanese students learning English. Although Conger's letters are not included, this collection offers a rare glimpse into the courtship of a mixed race couple during a period when Asian-Anglo marriages were outlawed in many states.
