Umeko Tsuda (1864-1929) is a Japanese female educator who devoted her life to promoting English learning and empowerment of women through the establishment of a college for women, Tsuda College. This research will see the biography of Tsuda from multiple perspectives, relating it to social changes and today’s situation of women. Having been abroad in her early life, Tsuda obtained a different and courageous attitude towards the patriarchal social structure that Japan had at that time. Even though she is well-known as an educator and the founder of Tsuda University, [1]she also once followed a unique and intriguing path of learning biology. However, [2]as being the youngest among the members who were sent to the US, she was greatly influenced by the western way of thinking sociologically and politically. It would be worth pursuing the factors that made Tsuda realize the need of becoming female educator after she accumulated the knowledge and experiences of science, language, and many other studies. Examining her life from the Meiji period to the wartime periods can certainly help capture the future vision of Japan in which gender equality is not fully achieved even in the educational dimension. In addition, critical and objective research will explain why Tsuda did not advocate for feminist movements, with all her renovations and influence as an educational leader in Japan at that time.
