Abstract

The outbreak of First World War, along with the development of technology, industry, and urbanization, brought about the changes to the daily practices in Japan. These social changes contributed to the rise of a new female image, the modern girl or moga. This article aims to analyze the changes of modern girls and the reasons underlying the changes.
