Doi was born in Hyōgo Prefecture and graduated from Doshisha University, where she studied law.
She was elected to the House of Representatives, the lower house of the Diet, as a member of the Japan Socialist Party ( JSP ) in 1969, representing the 2nd district of Hyōgo.
She spent her first ten years in the House on the sidelines, but came to national attention in 1980 when she was highly critical of Japan's unequal treatment of women, specifically about women-only home economics degrees and the father-dominated family registration law.
She pressured the Diet to sign the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ( CEDAW ) in 1985.
