Focusing on the complexities of femininity in Southeast Asian cultures, this study examines the relatively egalitarian male-female relations in the region. Barbara Watson Andaya delves into the roles and perceptions of women throughout Southeast Asian history, particularly during the early modern era (1500-1800). She analyzes the influences of new religions, economic changes, and state control, supported by a diverse array of sources and examples from various societies, including Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, Philippine, and Malay cultures.
