Abstract
The first thing we need to argue is whether we should bring together case studies in this volume under the category of women in Asia. Portraying people’s experiences as stories of a certain region, race, or gender category may reveal many important aspects of their lives, but such portrayal might conceal several indispensable details. Maybe because of that, Trinh Minh-ha wrote that “[w]henever friendly editors of journals and anthologies asked me to contribute writing in the area of race, ethnicity, class, gender and postcolonial theories, the only work I sent out for publication was poetry” (2011, 13).
