Abstract: The perspective of women's involvement in global politics. The history of women's involvement in Japanese politics is relatively recent. From the Meiji period, the Japanese started adopting Western civilization in terms of culture, literature, economy, and society. Nevertheless, the proportion of women remains the same, particularly in terms of political rights and participation. Japanese women did not even have the right to vote before World War II. Douglas MacArthur ordered the creation of a new constitution in February 1946 after GHQ conquered Japan during World War II in 1945. To enhance women's political rights, Japanese women are able to cast ballots. After so many decades of suffrage, we found many powerful women leaders who contribute their leadership in Japanese politics, and their efforts give Japanese women numerical political rights such as voting rights, property rights, equal employment rights, abortion rights, etc. In this study, I highlighted some Japanese women leaders whose contributions are unforgettable in the history of the women's suffrage movement. In addition, as a modern nation, Japanese women face various barriers in the path of political empowerment; that is why the women’s participation ratio in Japanese politics is not satisfactory. According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2023, Japan ranked 125^th out of 146 countries in the political arena because of low female representation in politics.
