Voting rights were acquired by Japanese women in December 1945 and exercised for the first time in elections for the lower house of the Diet, April 1946, when thirty-nine women were elected. This poster, produced by the Ministry of Education, exhorts women to vote and gives as one of the reasons women's greater purity by comparison with men.
