Daughters of Eve: recap of women in Christianity’s history from New Testament & Epistles of Paul (who was against marriage), through Genesis & creation of man/woman, Adam & Eve, and then Women in the Gospels (Mary Magdalene,and Mary, mother of Jesus). Professor Seat also spoke of Virgin Life via Hildegard of Bingen, and where women are today in the Christian church — Protestant Bishops and no women yet ordained in Catholic Church. She said there are numerous discussions about woman as temptress and having “insatiable carnal lust”, and blame falling upon Eve in the Garden of Eden (for picking the forbidden fruit/apple).
From Geishas to Harajuku Girls: Definition of femininity is different in various cultures and Professor Camp showed images of stereotypical Japanese women in kimono, schoolgirl uniforms, cosplay/anime in modern girls. She spoke of the Japanese feminine terms and linguistic polite usage by women, and traced the history of how women were perceived from Tokugawa to present Heisei eras. During Meiji times, “good wife wise mother” was the norm, with emphasis on etiquette during Showa period. Obviously women in Japan generally still seem to value being housewives and mothers over careers, according to this lecture.
