‘Shimoi claimed that […] Italian women were good wives, wise mothers, and understood that the home (katei) was the “way” (michi) of the woman. Their Japanese counterparts lacked these morals. They acted like “Americans, copying their women’s movement, and, advocating women’s suffrage, they go outside the house at will strolling around, they make speeches in their shrill voices, hang around in that flippant manner—and they call themselves ‘culture women’ … I hate these women.”’
