Infos

Winner of the 2014 Choice Outstanding Academic Title AwardAsian women are often labelled with biased stereotypical images, ranging from "e;subordinate housewife"e; to "e;migrant domestic maid,"e; and "e;overseas bride."e; Asian women, in fact, are being constructed as "e;women among women."e; These feminine roles are related to the various activities that women perform for others in intimate relationships both within and outside the family. This book comprises contributions from a distinguished group of international researchers who examine the historical development of "e;new women"e; and "e;good wife, wise mother,"e; women's roles in socialist and transitional modernity and the transnational migration of domestic and sex workers as well as wives.
