It demonstrates their act of transgressing or negotiating institutional boundaries through writing in the interstices of gender and race. It also highlights the newly-opened Japan as a locus where the women writers, encouraged by a more liberal femininity in the late Victorian period, could produce alternative discourses., Competitive research funding, kaken;rm:books_etc;rm:presentations
