Reviews
Vera Mackie, coauthor of Remembering Women’s
Activism:
The Feminist Pacific makes an important contribution to transnational feminist history through its focus on international women’s networks from the 1820s to the 1940s. From the locus of Hawai‘i, Yasutake explores the gendered and often contradictory processes of imperialism, settler colonialism, nationalism, and internationalism. This project takes the form of ‘reimagining’ women’s history in Asia and the Pacific.

Leila J. Rupp, author of Worlds of Women: The Making of an
International Women's Movement:
What better place than Hawai’i to explore the ways that women from
different places and cultures came together to work to better their lives? Rumi
Yasutake’s focus on a multicultural society struggling with imperialism allows us to
see a new dimension of transnational women’s activism.
