This reissue (1996) examines four interrelated aspects of schooling
for women in ten Asian countries: the development experience of a
country and how it affects education and women's status; the types
of educational opportunities available to women; if the greater
exposure to education results in greater participation in the
public sphere; the impact of education and economic participation
on women's domestic status.

This volume of twelve original essays examines the interplay
between women's education and development, and if and how it has
changed women's status, in selected nations in Asia.
Educational expansion in recent decades have benefitted women in
Asia at least in quantitative terms. Industrialization has also
created room for increased waged employment for them. However, the
relative openness of these systems has not been paralleled at the
cultural level. Women in Asia, which remains largely patriarchal,
are thus caught in contradictions. This volume examines how women
use and compromise with opportunities and limits in education, the
role of education in their economic participation, and the
enhancement and tension brought to their family roles.
The volume is edited from a cross-national perspective. The
chapters, each covering a nation, rest on a common framework. Each
begins with a brief historical account of education fore women. It
then investigates the extent women have been able to take advantage
ofthem. What follows is an analysis of how women use their
education in the labor market and in the family. Society's
definition of women's roles in the family often acts to reduce the
effect of schooling on women's economic participation. This
interplay is further complicated by such factors as social class
and/or caste, religion and ethnicity.
