Interesting bit of trivia on the women's rights thing ...

Quote:

Beate Sirota Gordon (born in Vienna, October 25, 1924), former Performing Arts Director of the Japan Society; a member of the team that worked under Douglas MacArthur on the Constitution of Japan.

When the U.S. began writing a new constitution for Japan, Sirota was enlisted to help and, as one of only two women in the room the other being Eleanor Hadley an economist, played an integral role in writing into the Japanese Constitution legal equality between men and women in Japan.
