Recent North Korean diaspora has given rise to many female refugee
groups fighting for the protection of women’s rights. Presenting
in-depth accounts of North Korean women defectors living in the UK,
this book examines how their harrowing experiences have become an
impetus for their activism. The author also reveals how their
utopian dream of a better future for fellow North Korean women is
vital in their activism. Unique in its focus on the intersections
between gender, politics, activism and mobility, Lim's illuminating
work will inform debates on activism and human rights
internationally.

How do Chinese, Japanese and Korean mothers in Britain make sense
of their motherhood and employment? What are the intersecting
factors that shape these women's identities, experiences and
stories? Contributing further to the continuing discourse and
development of intersectionality, this book examines East Asian
migrant women's stories of motherhood, employment and gender
relations by deploying interlocking categories that go beyond the
meta axes of race, gender and class, including factors such as
husbands' ethnicities and the locality of their settlement. Through
this, Lim argues for more detailed and context specific analytical
categories of intersectionality, enabling a more nuanced
understanding of migrant women's stories and identities. East Asian
Mothers in Britain will appeal to students and scholars across a
range of disciplines and with an interest in identity, gender,
ethnicity, class, migration and intersectionality.
