英語メディアはObituary（訃報）を大切にしています。Economistも毎週必ず一人取り上げています。今週は紙おむつを発明したValerie Hunter Gordonさんと一緒に田部井淳子さんが取り上げられていました。女性問題に光を当てているようです。数十年前は欧米も日本も「女性は家庭を守るべき」という価値観が根強かった中での苦労は今以上に大変だったことでしょう。
Climb every mountain
Obituary: Valerie Hunter Gordon and Junko Tabei died on October 16th and 20th respectively
These pioneers of women’s freedom from domestic drudgery were 94 and 77
Nov 5th 2016 | From the print edition
Far away in Japan, a decade later, Junko Tabei was wrestling with similar problems of mountains and male expectations. She wanted to be a climber: if possible, conquering the highest mountains in every country in the world. A school trip up Mount Asahi, to a strange volcanic region of bleak rocks and hot springs, had made her determined to do nothing else. But women in Japan, much like Mrs Hunter Gordon in leafy Camberley, were expected to spend their lives looking after houses and children. Mrs Tabei rejected that. Why should the men who ruled the world smother women’s dreams in domesticity? Doubtless because they wanted to keep them at their beck and call—and not standing on some distant peak with an ice-pick raised triumphant in the air.

In 2012, Tabei told the Japan Times she was proud of how her ascent was viewed.
"Back in 1970s Japan, it was still widely considered that men were the ones to work outside and women would stay at home.
"Even women who had jobs - they were asked just to serve tea. So it was unthinkable for them to be promoted in their workplaces."
2012年、英字紙ジャパン・タイムズのインタビューで田部井さんは、女性として初めてエベレストに登頂した当時について、「1970年代の日本では、男が外に働きに出て、女は家にいるのが当たり前だった。働いていた女性もお茶を出すのが仕事だった。だから昇進なんて考えられなかった」と振り返り、登頂成功が誇らしかったと語った。
雑誌PeopleもMeet PEOPLE’s 25 Women Changing the Worldと女性にフォーカスを当てていました。果敢に挑戦している女性を取り上げてクリントンに間接的にでもエールを送っていると見るのは穿ちすぎでしょうか？
