Abstract
This article highlights the important contribution made by Kamichika Ichiko to the interwar publishing scene by providing an overview of the literary journal Fujin Bungei launched by her and an analysis of three stories it published from leading female writers of the era, Matsuda Tokiko, Hirabayashi Eiko and Asai Hanako. Fujin Bungei was a rare oppositional voice within the media that questioned the narrow nationalism sanctioned and promoted by the Japanese state when others had fallen silent or been silenced. Furthermore, its focus on writing by women provided a forum for passionate and provocative works which shed new light on the downfall of the Proletarian Literature Movement.
