In medieval Japan, women held significant political power, especially in the imperial court and among the samurai class, where they could influence decisions and rule as regents or empresses. Notable figures like Empress Jingu and the Hojo clan's female members exemplify this influence. In contrast, medieval Europe largely restricted women’s political roles, with few ruling as queens or regents, often only during the absence of male heirs. Overall, while women in both regions could attain power, their opportunities and societal roles varied considerably, with Japan providing more avenues for female political agency.
