In writing and representing scholarship over time, AJWS has continuously renewed its commitment to providing a space for debates and discussions that critically examine, on the one hand, new emerging aspects of feminism and, on the other, the regionality of Asia against the backdrop of the world. Although the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was a tough challenge for the journal to overcome, this global crisis has presented new opportunities for AJWS to broaden the spectrum of its focus and coverage in publication. For Volume 27, the journal welcomes unique and innovative submissions that deal with the socio-economic crises, environmental disasters, human diseases, and health risks that entangle with the complex realities of women and men surviving to surmount personal, familial, and national difficulties in life. Meanwhile, as a feminist journal, AJWS is steadfast in encouraging the academic community to sustain the mission to unravel gender gaps and present gender perspectives and critiques, in order to develop an alternative worldview or knowledge that counters, reinforces, or complements established, traditional, mainstream or orthodox perspectives. May we all remain strong and vigilant in keeping ourselves academically sound and physically healthy!","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"1 - 1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1901441","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44988895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing so, it considers community power dynamics in Teknaf, a remote rural area of Bangladesh; the content of broadcasts by the local radio station, Radio Naf; and its listeners’ attitudes regarding the station. By using community radio programs as casual knowledge hubs, women adopt new and discursive methods of resistance by developing their persuasive and communication skills. They use such methods both to protect their rights and chip away at the inequalities they experience everyday. This kind of technique evokes effective and safe means of resistance—a form of strategic disobediences developed from satyagraha—the philosophy of non-violent resistance. The findings of this study are based on our ethno-methodological observations of community power dynamics and women’s participation in community radio activities, along with in-depth interviews of six female listeners of radio programs. These unpack the broader influence of the radio programs that talk about women’s empowerment.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"46 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1886032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44468124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the 2015 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) data and by using a quantitative decomposition method for studying differences between two groups (Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition method), it is seen that characteristic difference, coefficient difference and interaction item account for 40.24, 75.22 and −15.46% for the total gender variation in education in rural China respectively. Further analysis, based on the difference decomposition, shows that income, marital status, health status and parents’ educational attainments, are important factors that lead to gender differences in rural education, while these and the income of parents have higher marginal effects on education of rural women than of rural men. Quantile decomposition reveals the heterogeneity both in factors and their effects and of characteristic-coefficient difference contributions for different quantiles. The discrimination in education of rural females is more obvious at the lower stages of education. Therefore, income growth, improved supply of post-compulsory education for rural women, the construction of appropriate social support systems, and the formation of an intergenerational transmission effect of education within the household should effectively promote their education.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"66 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2021.1893924","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45622120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After 1949, Kinmen was forced to become involved in the military standoff between Chiang Kai-shek’s Republic of China in Taiwan (ROC) and Mao Zedong’s People’s Republic of China (PRC) during the cold war. Kinmen was under martial law for nearly 50 years from 1946 to 1992. The martial law was lifted in 1992 and Kinmen has become the frontline for cross-strait exchanges between the ROC and mainland China. Men’s heroic stories during the war have been studied and published, while women’s voices are systematically ignored. In order to examine the roles and value of women in Kinmen’s history, a case study methodology was used here. Su was one such unique woman, whose life story is investigated here. My main findings were about how she, as an active agent, used opportunities in order to overcome the major structural pressures of her life, while Kinmen underwent some major transitions. This paper is based on an account of this woman’s extraordinary struggles in different periods of time.","PeriodicalId":44322,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Womens Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"423 - 443"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/12259276.2020.1848210","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47692786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
