En Sugawara (Шаблон:Lang-ja, 27 February 1900 – 16 February 1994) was a Japanese suffragist and politician. She was one of the first group of women elected to the House of Representatives in 1946.[1]

Biography

Sugawara was born in the village of Шаблон:Ill (now part of Ichinoseki) in 1900. She attended Шаблон:Ill and later graduated from Шаблон:Ill in 1929. She also became a member of the Iwate Poets' Association.[2]

After World War II, Sugawara joined the Japan Progressive Party. She was a JPP candidate in Iwate in the 1946 general elections (the first in which women could vote), and was elected to the House of Representatives.[2] After the party merged into the Democratic Party, she ran unsuccessfully for the new party in Шаблон:Ill in the 1947 elections. She subsequently contested the 1949 elections as an independent candidate, but failed to be elected.

She died in 1994.
