In many parts of South-East Asia, women's lifestyles are going
through enormous changes as women move from traditional rural,
agricultural lifestyles to modern, urban lifestyles, which often
involve migration to cities, taking on paid work, and having a
quite different relationship with their families. This book, based
on intensive research among the women of the Bidayuh people in
Sarawak, all of them first generation migrant wage workers,
explores the extent to which women's lifestyles are changing, and
the reasons which prompt women to make the changes. How far are
such women driven by economic considerations, how far by
dissatisfaction with traditional lifestyles, and how far by the
appeal of a glamorous urban lifestyle? The author's research
includes detailed interviews in the field, and much of this
interview material is included in the book, thereby enabling the
Bidayuh women to tell their own stories as they grapple with the
rapid changes swirling around them.
