• Resumen

  • Coeducation for girls and boys in Japan was enacted and implemented by the 1947 Basic Law of Education. However, coeducation does by no way mean gender equality in education. This article aims at showing how Japanese scholars, feminists and teachers have been working together to define and to realize a non-sexist education. It will show how these connections between academics and activists sustained a specific movement in the 1990s to eliminate sexism in education, named “gender free education”. Both activists and feminists were forced to react when the “gender free education bashing” occurred during the 2000s
