This is the first-ever English textbook series on women’s studies in Asia. More than 100 Asian feminist scholars and campaigners participated in the project, agreeing that they needed to shed traditional Western academic orientation.
Indonesian Women in a Changing Society
This book analyzes institutions and discourses defining women’s status in Indonesia, a multicultural society of languages, religions and ethnic communities, as well as debate on interpretations of Islam. It also presents unfair cases of trade of women that are occurring in the Asian region through international marriages between Indonesian women and Thai men.
