Description:In the Japanese constitution there are two paragraphs dealing specifically with the rights of women, paragraphs that were researched and written and passionately defended by a very young American woman who has now become something of a heroine in Japan. Her name is Beate Sirota Gordon. Born in Vienna, Gordon was raised in Tokyo, and was in the US at college when the war began. She returned to her family in Japan in 1945 and as a Caucasian who spoke Japanese she quickly landed a job on General MacArthur's staff, to help research and write the new post-war constitution for Japan. As the only woman among the 25 drafters, she was determined to make sure that Japanese women were treated fairly by the new government.
