起草宪法并不是一个人每天都要做的事。在1787年那个潮湿的夏日里，身处美国费城的华盛顿、富兰克林和其他一些人耗费了数个月才完成了美国宪法的起草工作。1946年春的东京，满目疮痍，春寒料峭，当得知被安排加入到战后日本国宪法的起草工作时，贝雅特感到十分吃惊。因为当时贝雅特只有22岁，也不是一名律师，仅仅是一个普通的美国公民而已。她脑海中有关乐趣的唯一概念就是每天晚上出门逛街。在日本，她一直与麦克阿瑟将军率领的驻日占领军生活，绝大部分时间是用在寻找二战发生前就已经与之失散的双亲。贝雅特最擅长的工作就是将日语翻译成英语。突然有一天，她和其他24个人被秘密地集中到一个地方，起草战后日本国宪法。时间是一周。与她一起起草宪法的一名同事对她说:贝雅特，作为一个女人，你为什么不去为争取妇女的权益做点贡献呢?贝雅特大声回答到，太好了，我非常愿意去做。可之后贝雅特才意识到她根本不知道从何做起。

贝雅特是十分清楚在日本国内妇女是如何被对待的。从五岁算起，贝雅特一共在日本生活了十年。他的父亲，利奥希洛塔，是一位来自乌克兰的音乐会钢琴演奏家，在日本帝国学院任教。贝雅特被这片土地深深地吸引，对于她这样一位来自西方世界的人而言，精致的花园，美丽的樱花，能够与之一起玩耍的黑眼睛，直发的孩童，这里的一切都是不同寻常的。贝雅特声称，通过木偶戏和踢毽子，自己在三个半月的时间里就完全掌握了日语。除此之外，贝雅特也了解到了其他事情。比如，日本妇女从不参加自己母亲的聚会。母亲的聚会只有男人参加。日本的妇女在帮助自己丈夫和丈夫的朋友们享用完晚餐之后，才能一个人在厨房独自用餐。在街上，日本妇女通常只能跟在丈夫后面三步或四步远的地方。结婚之前，日本妇女根本不知道自己的丈夫是谁，父母死后也继承不到任何东西，她们甚至还会像牛羊一样被买卖。

正如她从她的使命中所感受到的温暖那样，日本国宪法第二十四条的内容，远不仅仅如此：妇女享有报酬权、孩子监护权、平等接受教育权。但是，这些内容绝大部分被最终排除掉了，因为这些内容不仅会让美国男人也会让日本男人十分感动。一位友好的陆军上校向贝雅特指出，她在日本国宪法中起草的有关妇女权益的内容远远多过了美国宪法中的有关内容。贝雅特愤怒地回答到：这并不难做到。上校告诉她诸如离婚此类事情不应写进宪法中。贝雅特也义正言辞地告诉上校，基于她在日本有关官员的协助下长期收集整理父母有关材料的经历来看，如果此类权利不被写入宪法，那么它们就根本不可能写入民法中。话音落下，心中的苦恼使得贝雅特眼中的热泪夺眶而出。

来自日本的谈判代表十分憎恶宪法第二十四条。但因为大家都喜欢贝雅特，也因为大家都知道希洛塔女士的心执着与此，他们退却了。如此，历史已经证明贝雅特从中得到了令人吃惊的满足。在之后几年中，不管贝雅特何时重回故地，日本的妇女都会簇拥向前争相与之合影留念，握手，以表达她们对贝雅特所赠予她们的礼物的感谢。 <span word="Noh">Noh</span> <span

回首过往，贝雅特将其中绝大部分归因于运气。在她看来，幸运地是，父亲的工作使得父亲能够在1929年把她带到东京;幸运地是，尽管她接受的大部分是美国教育，但她依然能够深入到日本以及日语之中;幸运地是，在二战后她还能回到日本，成为战后第一批到达日本的民间妇女，并成功寻找到身心憔悴但依然健在的双亲;幸运地是，她被麦克阿瑟将军挑选进他的秘密团队之中。 <span word="Yet">Yet</span>

当然，个人才能也包括在其中。贝雅特深知一直以来她比大多数普通人更了解日本：例如，作为一个在加利福尼亚州成长起来的学童，贝雅特清楚的知道在日本战时广播宣传节目中存在的被其他加州人所忽略的言语之间的细微差别和威胁。在和平年代，贝雅特觉得自己有必要竭尽所能去重塑美国人对日本这个国家的认知。从1954年起，作为日本协会的工作人员，贝雅特不知疲倦地将众多日本艺术大师介绍到美国，从而使得在佛罗里达州和俄亥俄州的人们能够欣赏到诸如茶艺中的鞠躬和啜饮，或是在小时候让贝雅特兴奋不已的文雅的古筝表演，或是通过面具能传达庄严的能剧表演。20世纪70年代贝雅特所在的日本协会演变成亚洲协会贝雅特游历亚洲大陆，勇敢地面对过丛林，季风，令人窒息的世界屋脊以及塔什干的七小时宴会，她为美国人民请回了爪哇的舞者，河内的水上木偶戏以及来自韩国的清唱歌手。

贝雅特沉浸在这些工作之中的同时，对于她在战后所从事的工作有很高的保密意识。直到1995年，贝雅特才在自己的回忆录中提及她曾参与过日本国宪法的起草工作。在此之后，贝雅特对此感到很满意。可无论如何，贝雅特并不认为宪法第二十四条是战后日本国宪法中最重要的条款。在贝雅特看来，日本国宪法中最重要的条款是宪法第九条，因为在这项条款之下，日本国从此宣布放弃战争，拥抱和平，而她所撰写的宪法第二十四条的重要性不能与之相比。
