The Japanese Women's Suffrage Association was established in 1901 to advocate for women's rights in Japan, particularly the right to vote. This organization aimed to raise awareness about gender equality and mobilize women to demand political participation. It played a crucial role in the early feminist movement in Japan. Throughout its existence, the association organized campaigns, published literature, and held meetings to promote women's suffrage. Despite facing significant opposition, it laid the groundwork for future advancements in women's rights, contributing to the eventual granting of suffrage to women in 1945, following the end of World War II.
