Abstract

This study analyzes the feminist politics of Takako Doi, the current Chairperson of the Social Democratic Party of Japan. Doi's politics are significant for feminist theorists because she has created a successful political organization in which women play a principal role in formulating public policy and running for political office. This article discusses the development of Doi as a feminist politician, the feminist issues for which she has campaigned, the model for feminist organizing which she has envisioned, the involvement of women as voters and candidates in recent elections in Japan, and the implications of Doi's politics for feminism in Japan.
