Womens Suffrage in Asia

This book explores the gendered histories of democracy, governance and citizenship in Asia within the context of the global women's suffrage movement. Including chapters on Japan, India, Indonesia, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii, the book analyses women's experiences of politics and their negotiations for greater access to power and representation. It explains why the history of suffrage is neglected in the various nationalist historiographies and untangles the connections between culture, religion, nationalism and colonialism in the context of women's struggles for democratic rights.

Louise Edwards is in the Faculty of Asian Studies at The Australian National University, Canberra. Mina Roces is in the School of History at The University of New South Wales, Sydney.
