Religious Figure, Author. She gained recognition as an American-born author who was one of the first promoters of the teachings of Theosophy in Japan. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Theosophy was a new religion established in the late 19th century in the United States based on the teachings of the Russian Madame Helena Blavatsky, a mystic. Abandoning her traditional Christian faith, she found a different source of faith and a daily personal creed of life. During her career, she published seven books mostly on the subject of Buddhism. She graduated from Radcliff College in New Jersey after being a student of such philosophers as William James, Josiah Royce, and George Herbert Palmer. After graduation, she enrolled in Columbia University in New York City, graduating with an M.A. and a certificate in social work in 1908. After meeting Buddhist Zen scholar Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki, they were married in 1911 and had a son. She assisted her husband, D.T. Suzuk, in his career, in which he published at least 100 books in various languages while promoting Buddhism in the Western world. Her husband's career did overshadow hers, yet she did join the Theosophical Society Adyar of India and was an active Theosophist. To spread her teachings, she established lodges with some success with the help of her mother, Emma Erskine Hahn, who was one of the early Bahá'ís on the East Coast of the United States. After studying Shingon Esoteric Buddhism in Japan, she published on the sect during the 1920s and 1930s in the periodical "Eastern Buddhist," which she co-founded. Devoted to her husband, she died in Japan at the dawn of World War II, and he continued their work for many years subsequently, but acutely aware of her benefit with American business contacts. In the 21st century, she is listed among the top female Buddhism scholars.
