A drafter of Constitution dies

Beate Sirota Gordon, a drafter of the Japanese Constitution who wrote its article stipulating the equality of the sexes, died Dec. 30 of pancreatic cancer at her home in New York, her daughter Nicole said Dec. 31. She was 89.

"Her last public statements had to do with preserving the peace clause and the women's rights sections of the Japanese Constitution," Nicole said. "She was opposed to amendment of the Constitution in general, but those are the parts that (were) of the most concern for her." (Kyodo News)
