Abstract: Female Art is a comprehensive literary magazine established by Hasegawa Sigure on July 1928. Since all the editors and writers contributing to this magazine are females, it is criticized as “female kingdom”. However, the construction of such a “female kingdom” not only provides a publishing platform for Showa Era’s females, for instance, help new writers like Hayasi Humiko in the literary circle, but also a stage for Japanese women to earn political and cultural rights, which has left an indelible trace in Showa literary history and female history. If we interpret the construction and fall of “female kingdom” from its critical articles and literary writings, Showa Era Japanese women’s spiritual and social quest can be observed and Japanese feminist development can be illustrated.

Key words: Female Art, female kingdom, feminist, female literary
