Abstract: On April 10, 1946, Japanese women exercised the right to vote for the first time. Since then, more than twenty years have passed. Have Japanese women availed themselves of their political rights? What about their voting percentages compared with those of men? What about the achievements of women members of the Diet? There are many questions to be considered in this article. As yet, how ever, it is too soon to evaluate the merits and demerits of Japa nese women in politics. But this much I can say with confi dence : women's voices are beginning to be listened to, thanks to their newly gained political rights.
