More Pinay Than We Admit 2: The Filipina Emerges from the Margins (PRE-ORDER)

SYNOPSIS:

More Pinay Than We Admit 2: The Filipina Emerges from the Margins, edited by the esteemed Maria Luisa T. Camagay, explores the multifaceted roles of Filipino women during the Spanish, American, and contemporary eras of Philippine history. This collection explores the development of Filipino women over time, from how they were perceived and controlled to the ways they resisted and redefined their identities through time.

Across 13 select essays, the book examines overlooked historical narratives, from the indigenous priestesses and spiritual leaders who were systematically stripped of authority under colonial rule, to the women who were the silent backbone of the Philippine Revolution, to the advocates for women’s suffrage who challenged social constraints and succeeded within a society shaped by an enduring legacy of colonialism, war, and inequality.

Fourteen years after the release of the first volume, More Pinay than We Admit 2 continues to celebrate Filipino women and how across generations they have continually navigated, resisted, and reshaped themselves within and without the cultural and societal restrictions placed upon them.

About the cover: A rendition of Juan Luna’s La Bulaqueña by an unknown artist (Vibal Foundation). The “serene portrait” of a graceful young woman from Bulacan is reimagined with a selfie stick. Her eyes discreetly avoid the camera, and her slight smile captures a moment of self- expression that reflects the shifting roles of women in the Philippines, balancing tradition and modernity in an age of digital connectivity (Digitally enhanced by Francisco dC. Mendoza).

Our shipping days for in-stock items from New York are currently only being shipped at the beginning and end of each month. This allows time for packing and shipping items. Also due to the rising gas prices, we have decided to cut back on shipping days to make it easier on ourselves (two person team) to pack and deliver items to the Post Office 2x a month.
