This book investigates the role of women and labour activism in
Asia, demonstrating that women have been active in union and non
union based campaigns throughout the region. Although focusing
primarily on women, the contributions to this book address issues
that affect all workers. Chapters on China, India, Japan, Korea,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Bangladesh examine the
part that female labour activism has played inside, and outside,
formal union movements. Whilst documenting the peculiar factors
characterising individual national contexts, the book emphasises
the similarities in women's experiences of union and labour
activism and the barriers women labour activists have faced. It
considers the relationships between women union members and
activists and male officials and union members, links with other
social movements -- particularly the broader women's movement --
and the details of specific labour campaigns and struggles.In doing
so, it provides a full account of the role of women in union
activism in Asia, covering all the major economies of the region,
and successfully challenging the prevailing conception of Asian
women workers as passive and uninterested in industrial issues.
