Friendly Connections: Philadelphia Quakers and Japan since the Late Nineteenth Century discloses the history of relations among members of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, of Philadelphia and Japanese intellectuals, educators, and activists. In this book, Japanese and North American experts demonstrate that education, women’s rights, interracial equality, politics, disaster relief, reform, and peace efforts have all benefited. Seventeen chapters detail this underappreciated history. Throughout the modern era, these ties, often between women, have transformed efforts for peace, equality, and women’s rights in Japan and the United States. With a focus on “women’s work for women,” and revelations about supportive British Quakers, this book uncovers networks that sustained Japan-America ties for a century and a half.
Linda H. Chance is associate professor of Japanese studies in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Pennsylvania.
Paul B. Reagan is an independent scholar and historian of modern Japan and international relations.
Tetsuko Toda is a project researcher of Quaker history in Japan at Tsuda University.
