Tharaphi Than

Women in Modern Burma (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Throughout history Burmese women have been represented as powerful and as having equal status to men by western travellers and scholars alike. This book explains how actually very few powerful Burmese women exist and how these few women help construct the notion of the high status of Burmese women, thereby inevitably silencing the majority of 'unequal' and disempowered women. Combining historical archives with statistical data published by UN agencies, this book highlights the reality of women's status in modern Burma.
