Hokkaido was in the process of being colonised by the Japanese during the Meiji period. Watanabe studied English, Japanese, and Chinese literature, and a range of other scientific and technical subjects, at Kyoritsu Women’s College, Yokohama, graduating in 1882. She and her husband Masaru Watanabe joined a pioneering agricultural company, the Banseisha Company, led by the charismatic pioneer Benzo Yoda, based at Hokkaido. The Watanabe family settled in Tokachi, where Kane opened a small private school for the children of both the indigenous Ainu and colonial settlers. This article analyses the male-dominated views found in records of the Banseisha company with Kane Watanabe’s narratives, shedding light on distinctive gendered perspectives on Hokkaido land and its people. A diary kept by Masaru and Kane Watanabe also reveals the processes involved in contesting and accommodating indigenous Ainu knowledge of the local habitat and environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51032,"journal":{"name":"Endeavour","volume":"49 1","pages":"Article 100989"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143455018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assisted by new opportunities in science education for women, especially the horticultural training colleges for women like the pioneering, model campus established at Swanley, Kent, and by the willingness of the director at Kew to conduct the “experiment” of admitting women as gardeners, Annie Gulvin, Alice Hutchings, and the eight other women who followed them to Kew until 1903, demonstrated that their gardening knowledge and skills equalled those of the Kew men. The women students proved that they could obtain senior horticultural posts on completing their training, thus providing role models and inspiration for the rapidly increasing number of professional women gardeners who followed their example. The lives and careers of the Kew ladies confirm the findings of other scholars of the resistance by the male horticultural establishment to allowing women into their profession but nuances the view that it was only middle-class women who were able to achieve this break-through, demonstrating that the more important cause of their success, other than their own personal qualities, was access to a good scientific education independent of social class. This article offers an unprecedented analysis of the pioneering Kew ladies’ backgrounds, education, career outcomes, and impact in the gendered, professional world of horticulture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51032,"journal":{"name":"Endeavour","volume":"49 1","pages":"Article 100979"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143076731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the Dark Web, face recognition, open source intelligence (OSINT) tools, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, we found in total four group portraits of this gathering and were able to determine the true identities of the three women, as well as one of the unknown men in one of the photos, with a very high degree of certainty. Moreover, we determined the exact day and time the photographs were taken: June 30, 1913 around 4:30 PM. After more than a century, the many riddles surrounding these group photos have been solved. By resolving the many questions regarding the (material) historical context of this iconic photograph of Einstein, three years before he published his theory of relativity, new light has been shed on one of the most exciting periods in the history of science. Our innovative research methodology—including AI, Dark Web, and OSINT—enabled us to reconstruct elements of the past of these totally forgotten and heavily marginalized women from many and diverse scattered and unassuming sources and revealed that their place in the history of physics is even more significant than thought. They, too, were part of Einstein’s huge sounding board in the form of his weekly colloquium and had precise astrophysical calculations to add; an indispensible ingredient for proving Einstein’s theory of relativity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51032,"journal":{"name":"Endeavour","volume":"48 4","pages":"Article 100967"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142796726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
