| In attempting give depth and reality to the representation of everyday lives of women in Asia, this book works against two, almost oppositional, representations of Asian women. The first common representation is of victims - child prostitutes, battered maids and mail-order brides - and the second is the imagined subversive. Discarding these assumptions, the contributors assess the actual possibilities for and realizations of agency for women in various Asian cultures. Content: Women standing between life and death: fate, agency, and the healers of Lombok (M. Cameron Hay) * Resisting resistance and finding agency: women and medicalized birth in Bali (Lyn Parker) * Women's agency in contemporary Indonesian theatre (Lauren Bain) * Lifestyles of the rich and single: reading agency in the "parasite single" issue (Laura Dales) * Transnational marriage migration and women's agency (Tomoko Nakamatsu) * The agency of Indonesian domestic workers in Singapore (Noorashikin Abdul Rahman) | |
