Mary McLeod Bethune ト コクジン ジョシ キョウイク

My study presented in this article focuses on a part of Mary McLeod Bethune's educational philosophy. She devoted herself to the education to the young African American women under the idea of 'Cult of True Womanhood'. Her aim was to enable the young people, contributing to 'racial uplift' through improving their domestic management skills. The records show that she also encouraged them additionally to learn liberal arts and prepare to pursue professional careers for the future. She clearly held the vision of betterment for her race as well as the whole of American people. For that very reason, she availed herself as the pivotal linkage of the efforts made by both the famous and infamous African American women between the Reconstruction and the Post World War II period
