Description:

Don't let the lantern light go out. That is the hope known as education. Born in Ise, Kawai Michi studied under Nitobe Inazo in Sapporo, then studied abroad at Bryn Mawr College in the United States. After returning to Japan, she taught at the Women's English School, founded by Tsuda Umeko. Michi and her student Watanabe Yuri worked hard to create a girls' school where students could live as individuals, rather than just as good wives and mothers. This is a brilliant, epic novel depicting the "soul sisters" who built women's education during the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods!
