With chapters written by leading international experts, it provides a full overview of the history of feminism, as well as the current context of the women's movement in 12 countries: the Philippines, China, Indonesia, Japan, Burma, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Korea, India and Pakistan. 520 $a For each of these countries the manner in which feminism changes according to cultural, political, economic and religious factors is explored. The contributors investigate how national feminisms are influenced by transnational factors, such as the women's movements in other countries, colonialism and international agencies. Each chapter also considers what Asian feminists have contributed to global theoretical debates on the woman question, the key successes and failures of the movements and what needs to be addressed in the future."--pub. desc. 650 0 $a Feminism $z Asia. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z Asia. 650 0 $a Transnationalism. 700 1 $a Roces, Mina, $d 1959- 700 1 $a Edwards, Louise P. 941 $a 4 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214033123.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728015638.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825065219.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20120928010837.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29BF866CB51D11E1A5CE75A26AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b DIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
