This collection places Asian woman centre stage and challenges a dichotomised view of Asia and the ‘west’ or ‘north’. It offers an understanding of Asian women in their networks of connections through the work of feminist scholars discussing Asian women in North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. The editors have introduced each section in a way that enables the understanding of the intersections and theoretical linkages between women from varied Asian backgrounds. This is an important contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship and to comparative Asian feminist thought.
