She became the mayor of Yokohama, a city of 3.7 million people, in 2009. She is a powerful leader who is working on revitalizing the city’s economy, enhancing education, and supporting active participation by women. This lecture provides a good opportunity to hear the thoughts of a female political leader, still a relative rarity in Japan.
