This paper provides an analysis of the lives and works of two remarkable Japanese women, Hōjō Masako and Yosano Akiko, whose contributions shaped the history, culture and literature of Japan. In the first part, we explore the historical context of the Kamakura period, focusing on the political, social and cultural factors that shaped the life of Hōjō Masako, one of the most influential figures of the era. We continue with an analysis of her relationship with Minamoto no Yoritomo, her role in political power struggles, and her legacy as an influential figure in Japanese history. In the second part, we explore the life, literary work and feminist contribution of Yosano Akiko in the Meiji and Taisho periods. Through a biographical presentation and analysis of her works, we explore how Akiko promoted the emancipation of women, empowered them through literature, and fought for their rights. Special emphasis is placed on her relationship with her husband Tekkana, analysis of her marriage, and her influence on contemporary Japanese society and literature. In the concluding section, we explore the connection between Hōjō Masako and Yosano Akiko and how Masako's legacy can be seen through Akiko's work. We emphasize the importance of their influence on the formation of Japanese culture, society and women's rights, and conclude with a review of their lasting importance and inspiration in Japanese history and modernity.
